High BP & Protein

I'm so confused right now :-( went to the hospital with an elevated BP yesterday (and a low amount of protein in my urine over a few weeks). My BP was elevated the day before too but with lying down it lowered. And I was sent home with monitoring my BP four times a day. No mention of the reasons for it (except I am a health professional and know pre-clampsia could be an issue). And a platelet count of 86 (I am sometimes low but not that low so HELLP syndrome might be an issue). I'm with a midwife now but I'm assuming that will change as I would consider it more high risk now! I feel like I was just left in the dark :-( and don't know what is going on, what I should and shouldn't be doing!!!! Anyone else encounter these issues and have some insight?!

    Your midwife should do a 24 hour urine collection to make sure pre-e isn't creeping up. Because once your toxic all you can do is deliver. Speaking from personal experience.
