Is High Blood Pressure Harmful During Pregnancy?

I am 12 weeks pregnant and have been told that my blood pressure, which is normally low to normal, has recorded high. So I purchased a blood pressure cuff to use at home. My blood pressure tonight read at 157/107. Should I be concerned that this could harm the baby?
