When I was having blood pressure issues my doctor said to only be concerned if its 150/100 after resting for 5-10 minutes. And if its that high to call labour ward and let them know

Ur fine.  If it is consistently like that or higher it will be concerning.  If the bottom number becomes higher than 100 sit down an relax for 15-20 min and retest. An make sure u are testing on ur left arm.   And tbh it's not that high.   Ur bp will raise with pregnancy because u are pregnant and ur blood flow is more causing the pressure to elevate.  No big deal

Take it a couple more times over the next couple hours. Lots of things can cause it to go up pain, worry, rushing around. As long as it's not consistently high over a period of time you're ok. I was hurrying one day to the doctor & I had an ear ache mine was high when I got there but by time I left it was normal.
