Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Increased blood pressure and presence of protein in the urine are indicative of pre eclampsia.
Pre eclampsia needs strict fetal and maternal monitoring, rest and treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
