Treatment of hypertension in pregnancy depends on what type of hypertensive disorder the pregnant woman has. In the case of chronic hypertension, where the hypertension was present prior to the pregnancy, medicines will be continued. In case some of the medicines could lead to abnormalities in the baby, doctors recommend a change in medication. Organs such eyes, heart and kidneys will be monitored during the course of the pregnancy. It's important to monitor the baby as well during this period. In the case of a Preeclampsia case, the treatment depends on the level of the blood pressure, the duration of the pregnancy and the condition of the baby. The ultimate treatment would be to deliver the baby in good health. If the BP is extremely high, the woman's organs and the baby's health might be affected. In such a case the doctor might choose to prematurely deliver the baby. Dr. Harsha Reddy, explains how hypertension in pregnancy can be treated. For more information visit care.com
