Hi.

Blood pressure fluctuations during pregnancy are normal and to be expected. I would not really worry about it, especially as her due date is quite close. If at all her blood pressure remains uncontrolled and high and she develops other symptoms like swelling and her urine is found to have a high level of proteins, there is nothing to worry about for now.

Best wishes.
