Hypertension in Pregnancy

Hypertension in pregnancy, commonly known as high blood pressure during pregnancy, occurs when the force of blood against artery walls becomes too high. This condition can develop during pregnancy and may lead to complications for both mother and baby, such as preeclampsia, preterm birth, or organ problems. It is usually monitored closely by healthcare providers, and managing blood pressure through lifestyle, medication, and regular check-ups helps reduce risks. Proper care aims to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery for both mother and infant.
