If your blood pressure goes 140-145/90 then it is considered elevated and will be monitored. If it goes 145 plus/95-100plus then it is considered high and you could be placed on medication, bed rest or if you are far enough along in your pregnancy, then you will be induced. I have gestational hypertension and my blood pressure has gone from elevated to high back to elevated enough that I am on house rest, need to go for blood/urine work weekly and I see my doctor weekly as well. It is not common, really only like 1-2/10 pregnant women deal with truly high blood pressure.<br><b>References : </b><br> It is normal for blood pressure to increase during pregnancy, like 120-125 and 80-90.

Common enough to have its own name: pregnancy-induced hypertension. The more important question is how to treat it and prevent it from becoming critical and causing complications like preeclampsia. Blood pressure medications are problematic at best of times and they're the last things you want your baby to share. There's a wonderful natural technique called slow breathing with music. The thing that's so great about this method is that both mother and baby benefit. Unborn children are extremely responsive to their mothers' breathing and to music. Slow breathing is clinically proven to reduce blood pressure and it's become a popular hypertension treatment. The idea is very simple but slow breathing has to be regulated in a precise way to be most effective. Slow breathing with music uses music for relaxation while sound cues in the music guide the user's breathing. The gentle, rhythmic movement of deep breathing along with relaxing music is the ideal way to deal with pregnancy induced hypertension. The articles below explain the method in depth.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.control-your-blood-pressure.com/lower_blood_pressure_pregnancy.html http://www.control-your-blood-pressure.com/stress_management_pregnancy.html High blood pressure is fairly common during pregnancy.

HighER bp is totally common during pregnancy BUT there is a difference between high in pregnancy and high is general. My bp maintained 145/90ish until a week before i gave birth-which is considered "high" but not dangerously high. Mine then got way higher 170/90ish so they induced me. :)<br><b>References : </b><br> A lot of women have "high" blood pressure when they are pregnant.
