Here's a summary of the text in a more readable format: **What is Gestational Hypertension?** Gestational hypertension is high blood pressure that develops during pregnancy. It can lead to complications such as premature birth, intrauterine growth restriction, and stillbirth. **Symptoms of Gestational Hypertension** The common symptoms of gestational hypertension include: * Increased blood pressure * Presence or absence of protein in the urine (to diagnose gestational hypertension or preeclampsia) * Edema (swelling) * Sudden weight gain * Visual changes such as blurred or double vision * Nausea, vomiting * Right-sided upper abdominal pain or pain around the stomach * Urinating small amounts * Changes in liver or kidney function tests **Diagnosis of Gestational Hypertension** Diagnosis is often based on blood pressure measurements and other symptoms. Tests may include: * Blood pressure measurement * Urine testing to rule out preeclampsia * Assessment of edema * Frequent weight measurements * Liver and kidney function tests to rule out preeclampsia * Blood clotting tests to rule out preeclampsia **Treatment for Gestational Hypertension** The goal of treatment is to prevent the condition from becoming worse and to prevent complications. Treatment may include: * Bedrest, either at home or in the hospital * Hospitalization (if necessary) * Magnesium sulfate (or other antihypertensive medications) if blood pressure readings are severe * Fetal monitoring, including: + Fetal movement counting + Nonstress testing + Biophysical profile + Doppler flow studies * Continued laboratory testing of urine and blood to monitor for worsening symptoms or progression to preeclampsia * Medications, such as corticosteroids, to mature the lungs of the fetus (if premature birth is expected) **Prevention of Gestational Hypertension** Early identification of women at risk for gestational hypertension may help prevent some complications. Education about warning symptoms and early recognition can also help women receive treatment and prevent worsening of the disease.
