Brief Answer:
Wait for six months

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
The blood pressure you mentioned is high enough to avoid pregnancy for next 6 months atleast.
The ideal gap between two pregnancies is two years but if blood pressure is under control and other reports including hemoglobin is normal you can plan earlier say a year later.
The ideal time to get delivery with high blood pressure is 37 weeks of pregnancy.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
