Gestational hypertension is a condition that occurs during pregnancy, characterized by high blood pressure. It typically develops after the 20th week of pregnancy and can affect both the mother and the baby. Unlike preeclampsia, gestational hypertension does not involve protein in the urine or other signs of organ damage. Women with gestational hypertension may not experience noticeable symptoms, but it can lead to complications if left untreated. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and prenatal check-ups are essential for managing the condition. In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help control blood pressure and ensure a healthy pregnancy outcome.
