Hi Inbal,
Your blood pressure is borderline. Anything higher would be toxemia רעלת so it is important that you have a good follow-up. You need to rest and stop work and get out of the heat and drink Nettle tea תח סרפדand I advise acupuncture. Best is to buy or borrow a digital blood pressure machine to have at home and take it 3 times a day. It is considered toxemia if you have also swelling of feet, hands, and face. Just feet is normal in hot weather. Also if you have more than trace of protein in your urine. You need to get your urine checked with those sticks, and you can ask to borrow some from Tipat Halav to check yourself daily. Be aware that if you have any visual disturbances like seeing dots or light flashes or headache or pain in upper stomach you must go to hospital immediately as this could be a sign that your blood pressusre is high. Unwatched and untreated this is very dangerous for you as you can have convulsions and for the baby since it can lead to placental detatchment. However, a one time reading of 140/90 can be absolutely normal and nothing to worry about, just need to keep an eye on it . If it rises, you need to be in hospital and induced, as that is the best way to prevent it from progressing.
