since there is a previous history of pregnancy induced hypertension ,there are chances that in can occur in this pregnancy too.usually with previous history you should be under consultant care.138/90 bp need to be rechecked.your treatment is based on whether you have any headache,swelling of both feet,urine albumin test is needed.it is advised that you have a consultation soon with a obstetrician and gynaecologist.
