Planning to conceive if you have hypertension
Posted on 11th June 2012
Health care providers call high blood pressure hypertension. Some women have hypertension (high BP) before they get pregnant. Other women get high BP while they are pregnant and have it after delivery. Women with high BP before, during, or after pregnancy need extra care. You and your baby can be as healthy as possible if you plan for pregnancy. You can help your blood pressure before getting pregnant by losing weight and being more physically active.
HYPERTENSION EFFECT PREGNANCY
High BP during pregnancy can hurt a woman and her baby. It can cause breathing, heart, kidney, and liver problems for a woman. High BP in pregnancy also increases the risk of heart disease and other problems later in life for the mother. High BP can cause growth problems in babies before they are born. Sometimes the problems are so bad that health care providers want to deliver the baby early. Sometimes a baby dies before it is born.
PREGNANCY  EFFECT HYPERTENSION
Some women may get high BP for the first time during pregnancy. This is called gestational hypertension. If a woman has gestational hypertension, her health care provider may recommend that she sees a doctor with special training in taking care of pregnant women with high BP. The health care provider may see the woman more often (weekly). This lets the health care provider make sure her blood pressure is under control and her baby is growing. Other women with high BP get even sicker during pregnancy and have preeclampsia. Preeclampsia may get very bad for some women, called eclampsia. Women with preeclampsia or eclampsia should see a specialist.
My advise
1...     One common misconception is that high blood pressure (HBP or hypertension) rarely affects women. However, nearly half of all adults with high blood pressure are women. And at 65 and older, women are more likely than men to get high blood pressure. While high blood pressure isn't directly related to gender, throughout a woman’s life, health issues like pregnancy, pregnancy prevention (birth control) and menopause can increase the risk of developing high blood pressure.
2...   Medical researchers have found that birth control pills increase blood pressure in some women. It’s more likely to occur if you’re overweight, have had high blood pressure during a previous pregnancy, have a family history of high blood pressure or mild kidney disease. The combination of birth control pills and cigarette use may be especially dangerous for some women. 
3....   Each woman is different, and your doctor will give you recommendations for your situation. Most women with high blood pressure should follow these precautions before becoming pregnant. (However, if you have any questions or concerns
4....   Some women who have never had high blood pressure develop it while they are pregnant. When this happens after 20 weeks of pregnancy, it is known as gestational hypertension, a form of secondary hypertension caused by the pregnancy that usually disappears after delivery. If the mother is not treated, high blood pressure can be dangerous to both the mother and baby. That’s why doctors usually keep a close watch on a woman’s blood pressure during pregnancy.
5..... Preeclampsia (sometimes known as toxemia of pregnancy) is a condition, closely related to gestational hypertension, that typically begins after the 20th week of pregnancy. It’s usually characterized by high blood pressure and elevated protein in the urine. Delivery of the baby is the only cure for preeclampsia.
6....  The following factors raise your risk of preeclampsia:
  • Primiparity (first pregnancy)
  • Previous preeclamptic pregnancy
  • Chronic hypertension, chronic renal disease or both
  • Thrombophilia, a tendency to form blood clots
  • Multifetal pregnancy (with triplets posing a greater risk than twins)
  • In vitro fertilization
  • Family history of preeclampsia
  • Type I diabetes mellitus or type II diabetes mellitus
  • Obesity
  • Systemic lupus erythematosus
  • Advanced maternal age (40 years and up)
7....  Always be happy and avoid tensions with your life partner's association.
8...   Follow healthy food and healthy life style to control your hypertension.

Poor sleep in Pregnancy causes pre-term or low birth weight Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Poor sleep in Pregnancy causes pre-term or low birth weight Posted in 2014 Pregnancy can pose serious challenges to sleeping well. Poor quality and too little sleep are common during pregnancy, when many women experience fragmented sleep and symptoms of insomnia. Even women who don’t generally experience sleep problems find that during pregnancy they have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, as well as trouble getting enough sleep. We talk a lot about sleep issues for new mothers. But new research   suggests we should be paying more attention to the sleep health of expectant mothers as well. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center found   links between both the quality and quantity of pregnant women’s sleep and complications at birth, including low birth weight and pre-term births. The link betw
