Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the BP is said to be high when the BP is more than or equal to 140/90 on two readings taken 6 hours apart. Traces of protein in urine along with high BP suggests preeclampsia. But nothing to worry regarding high BP as you are already 36 weeks. There might be no chance for growth restriction of fetus as the high BP is present in late months of pregnancy. So relax. Avoid stress. The high BP can be controlled by medication. Take high protein diet. Best regards...
