Hypertension is an incurable disease; the use of antihypertensive drugs and lifestyle changes can prevent the disease from occurring. Hypertension in pregnancy is defined as a systolic blood pressure greater than 140 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure greater than 90 mmHg. High maternal blood pressure (hypertension) can cause intrauterine fetal growth disorders, which will undoubtedly impact birth weight.
