High blood pressure

So I'm 34 weeks and have never had high blood pressure until today's appointment. Doctor said my urine was fine but would still like me to collect for 24 hours and come back next week. Has this happen to any of you ladies and everything be okay?
Ps I haven't felt stressed. No headaches. No bleeding or blurry vision. Just some hip pain which the doctor didn't seemed worried about

Same exact thing happened to me! and everything came back normal for 24 urine collection and other blood tests. They just wanna make sure you don't have preeclampsia. My blood pressure has been pretty high since week 34 so they are inducing me next week at 39 weeks though to be safe. Cord pressure on baby has been fine though so baby hasn't seemed affected by my high levels. Dr said its my placenta giving off weird hormones making me get hypertension, its not my fault.

I had high blood pressure almost the entire last half of my 1st pregnancy. And had to do the 24 hour tests every time I went to an appointment. Probably did it at least 15 times. It sucked but never once did it come out not normal. Everything was always just fine. Don't worry about it too much it should all be fine! Good luck.
