Which pregnant women are prone to hypertension

Pregnant women suffering from high blood pressure may be caused by many factors, such as older age, overweight, and the existence of underlying diseases.

1. Older pregnant women,

older than 35 years old when pregnant, may suffer from high blood pressure during pregnancy.

2. Overweight

If pregnant women are overweight, BMI (body mass index) is greater than or equal to 30, which will also increase the risk of high blood pressure during pregnancy.

3. The existence of underlying diseases

Some pregnant women suffer from hypothyroidism, diabetes, kidney disease, autoimmune diseases, heart valve disease, etc. before pregnancy, and are prone to high blood pressure during pregnancy.

If there are any of the above risk factors during pregnancy, they should inform their doctor in time and receive professional prenatal examination and guidance. During pregnancy, they should also pay attention to weight control, maintain a healthy diet, proper exercise and other good habits.
