What blood pressure is considered high for pregnant women

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Please ask, what is considered high blood pressure for pregnant women?

Doctor's answer:

High blood pressure during pregnancy, greater than 140/90, is known as preeclampsia, often accompanied by edema and proteinuria. It is important to monitor the condition closely. If the blood pressure is slightly elevated, it is usually possible to have a normal delivery. A low-sodium diet and adequate rest are recommended. If the blood pressure is high, antihypertensive medications such as nifedipine can be taken orally. I hope this is understandable and acceptable. Wishing you a healthy and beautiful baby.
