Yep, like sloane says, you can go on meds and/or bed rest. If your BP is in an ok range for you it may just be monitored. But if it's too high you might need to go on some medication. High BP over a long period of time is not good for your body.
This is what worked for me. I went to 42w5 days with no problems using this list
# Fish Oil supplement that is tested safe for heavy metal content
# High protein diet of 75 to 100 grams daily, more if you already have pre-eclampsia
# Plenty of water
# Eat salt as taste requires
# Calcium and Magnesium supplements (in the form of tablets or pregnancy herbal infusions & teas)
# Moderate exercise
# Avoid toxic substances that tax the liver and kidneys (caffeine, pollution from smokers or high traffic, strong chemicals and scents in the home, refined foods such as white sugar/flour/salt, processed foods, and take NO drugs at all.)
# Full body water immersion is also supposed to help lower blood pressure
# Foods for lowering blood pressure include garlic, cucumbers, parsley and onions.
# Drink a cup of skullcap tea/infusion as needed
# Drink red raspberry leaf, dandelion and nettle tea regularly
# Balance your sodium and potassium levels in the body with raw beet juice (also increases calcium)
