Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension
Pregnancy-induced hypertension is an elevation of blood pressure that appears during pregnancy, generally after the first half of the pregnancy, in women who previously had normal readings.
Why it matters: Monitoring blood pressure during pregnancy is part of prenatal care, since it can affect both the mother's health and the baby's development.
Signs worth mentioning: Persistent headache, noticeable swelling in the hands or face, changes in vision, or a sudden weight gain typically prompt a checkup.
Who treats it? The gynecologist and, depending on the case, the internist or the nephrologist support the follow-up; for any concern during pregnancy, the most sensible thing is to have it evaluated by a health professional.
