Pregnant and unstable blood pressure

Hi there

I'm new here...26 weeks pregnant and under a blood pressure specialist taking labetalol 3x day. Testing BP at home and seems fine nothing over 130/80 then I go to the doctor and it's 140/85 which is high and then 5 minutes later 125/70 so they say it's unstable. They've increased my meds to 150mg 3x day and it drops to 110/60 and feels too low/dizzy. Does white coat syndrome mean anything or is this really a problem when they see 140/85 just at the appointment?
