How is gestational hypertension treated?

Blood pressure monitoring

Your healthcare provider may check your blood pressure more often. You should also tell your healthcare provider if you have any new symptoms.

Fetal monitoring

Your healthcare provider may do tests to check the health of your baby. These tests may include:

Fetal movement counting. You’ll keep track of your baby’s kicks and movements. A change in the number of kicks or how often your baby kicks may mean your baby is under stress.
Nonstress testing. This test measures your baby’s heart rate in response to its movements.
Biophysical profile. This test combines a nonstress test with an ultrasound to watch your baby.
Doppler flow studies. This test is a type of ultrasound that uses sound waves to measure the flow of your baby’s blood through a blood vessel.

Lab testing

Your healthcare provider may test your urine and blood at every prenatal checkup. This testing will tell if your condition is getting worse.

Medicine

Your healthcare provider may give you corticosteroids. These medicines can help your baby’s lungs mature. You’ll get these medicines if it looks like your baby is going to be born early.

What are possible complications of gestational hypertension?

High blood pressure can affect your blood vessels. It may decrease blood flow in your liver, kidneys, brain, uterus, and placenta.

This condition can get worse. It can lead to preeclampsia and eclampsia. These are serious blood pressure problems. These issues can cause the following problems:

Placental abruption, when the placenta pulls away from the uterus too early
Poor fetal growth (intrauterine growth restriction)
Stillbirth
Seizures (eclampsia)
Death of the mother and baby

Because of these risks, your healthcare provider may decide that you need to have your baby early. This may happen before 37 weeks of pregnancy.

Even if your blood pressure goes back to normal after childbirth, you have a higher chance of having high blood pressure in the future.

Can gestational hypertension be prevented?

Having this issue diagnosed and treated early may help reduce your risk for complications. That's why it’s important to go to your prenatal checkups. Doing so may keep your condition from getting worse.

When should I call my healthcare provider?

Call your healthcare provider right away if you have signs of high blood pressure. Symptoms can include a headache that doesn’t go away, blurred or double vision, swelling, or making less urine than normal.
