That’s why it’s important to have regular prenatal visits to have your blood pressure checked. Women who have high blood pressure before pregnancy (or develop it before the 20th week of pregnancy) have what is called “chronic hypertension.” This form of hypertension does not go away after delivery. If you know you have high blood pressure you should see your doctor before you get pregnant. Without treatment, hypertension can cause serious problems such as slow fetal growth, low birth weight and preterm delivery. The good news is that these problems can usually be prevented with good prenatal care.
