Ok. i think i have understood your concern.
your rise in blood pressure is commonly known as PIH i.e. Pregnancy induced hypertension.
It can be controlled in the tune of 130/ 90 mm of mercury with anti hypertensive medicines that are safe in pregnancy.
Per say it is not a condition where you will not be allowed to go in labor pain process.
If no other problematic issues regards your health or baby arise you can have normal delivery.
