How long before PIH blood pressure goes back to normal after birth?

?Love? asked:
I had pregnancy induced hypertension and had to deliver my baby girl at 35 wks. I’m on labetalol 3x a day now and my blood pressure still runs 160/105 unless I’m resting. My baby is a wk old tomorrow she was 5 lbs 12 oz so she got to come home with me thankfully I had the steroid shots so her breathing was normal. So how long should I expect to be on blood pressure meds?
