You know your wife better than me so only you know what will help her relax but when I was pregnant with my twins the biggest help was when my partner would take my 10 month old out for the day. You could do the evenings meal, I'm guessing you work so on your days off there are lots of things you could do, clean the house for her, every now & then buy her a little gift to lift her spirits, I personally didn't get on well with being pregnant, I felt fat & really unattractive so lots of compliments, maybe a trip to the hairdressers for her to make her feel like a person therefore more relaxed.
All you can do is help as much as you can, just posting the question shows how caring you are so I doubt that you would but if you find yourself sitting watching tv whilst she's up hoovering etc then she's not relaxing, you are!
I hope all goes well with the rest of the pregnancy & the birth!

34 weeks isn't uncommon, 27 is pretty short term, but each pregnancy is different. YOU need to relax, so that she does. Like; the ladies said above, take care of household business, and act like all is well, and have your other two kids right there with her. They need this as much as she does, No matter what happens, the other two kids need to be there first hand. You'll regret it later in life if you don't do it. It's your decision, but my feeling is that a family has to go through life together, good or bad. Good luck man, Love, Ron Couch

Her high blood pressure could be the result of the pregnancy. It can be dangerous, so she should be monitored by a specialist in high blood pressure in pregnancy. I know that the likely hood of her developing pre eclampsia decreases with every pregnancy assuming the same father for all the children. The point is its not just a matter of her relaxing. She may need meds.

I have a similar history, i have 4 kids, 1st one i had pre eclampsia at 29 weeks, and he came 7 weeks early by himself!
2nd child i took aspirin from about 20 weeks to help not get high bp. and he went full term with no raised bp.
3rd one i had loads of stress and went into labour at 33 weeks but my waters broke at 30 weeks!
my 4th one we decided i would have all shopping delivered and get ironing done and really have loads of help, all through pregnancy, my kids and husband did things like take rubbish out get dirty washing downstairs and hoover!
I also had osteopathy including some cranial, and I believe that helped me so much! I went full term with no complications at the age of 41! We still find it hard to believe! Good luck I hope this helps.

Just help her round the home and with the children pamper her but she will have been suffering from pre eclampcia and this can not be prevented so just be prepared for it but in a relaxed frame of mind and dont let her stress about it as it will happen sooner than you want it to good luck to you all xxxx

Make sure she rests as much as possible. My son was born at 37 weeks due to my high blood pressure. I would have her rest throughout the whole pregnancy but more so in the 3rd trimester. And have her watch her diet and drink lots of water.
Good luck to you and your wife. And congrats!

Well, you should help out a lot with housework etc for starters!! Also she should eat a healthy diet with as little salt as possible. Pomegranite juice is said to lower blood pressure and it certainly won't harm to try it!
Hopefully the doctors are monitoring her due to her medical history and they may put her on medication should her blood pressure become too high. Or possibly admit her to hospital for complete bed rest.
Good luck
