Hypertension in PregnancyDuring pregnancy, hypertension can affect blood flow to the kidneys, liver, brain, placenta, and other organs. Possible types of hypertension include preeclampsia, eclampsia, and gestational pregnancy. Treatment options involve bed rest, more frequent prenatal visits, and early delivery (after 36 weeks). Even though high blood pressure and related disorders can be serious, most women with high blood pressure during pregnancy (and those who develop preeclampsia) have successful pregnancies.
