Hello,
Welcome to HCM
I understand your concerns.Only one reading of 150 doesn't tell us that your wife is suffering from pregnancy induced hypertension.
I would suggest you to take serial readings of BP-in the morning and evening.
Also ask your wife to make a note of DFMC-Daily fetal movement count.
Follow salt restricted diet.
There is no harm as such to your baby.
If she develops symptoms like blurring of vision,headache,haematuria,consult your gynecologist immediately.
Hope i have answered your query.
Thank you
