Introduction: Pregnancy hypertension, also referred to as gestational hypertension, presents notable risks to both mother and baby. At Indigo Women’s Center, under the guidance of Dr. Surakshith Battina, we prioritize your well-being and offer expert advice to effectively manage this condition. Here, we present five crucial tips to help you control hypertension during pregnancy.

1. Regular Blood Pressure Monitoring: Monitoring your blood pressure regularly is paramount to detect any increases early on, enabling timely adjustments in treatment. We advocate the use of a home blood pressure monitor, coupled with maintaining a log of readings for discussion during prenatal visits.
2. Embrace a Balanced Diet: A well-rounded diet is fundamental. Prioritize whole grains, lean proteins, and a diverse range of fruits and vegetables. Minimize salt and processed food intake to mitigate hypertension risks. Our nutritionists at Indigo Women’s Center can craft a tailored diet plan suited to your needs.
3. Incorporate Moderate Exercise: Engaging in moderate physical activity, such as walking or prenatal yoga, can contribute to lowering blood pressure. Always consult your healthcare provider to ensure the safety of your exercise regimen during pregnancy.
4. Stress Management: Stress levels significantly impact blood pressure. Explore stress-reduction techniques like meditation, prenatal yoga, or indulging in tranquil outdoor activities. Our specialized stress management programs at Indigo Women’s Center cater specifically to expectant mothers.
5. Adherence to Treatment Plan: If prescribed medication for hypertension management, strict adherence to the dosage regimen is vital. Never alter your dosage without consulting your healthcare provider first. Regular check-ups at our center guarantee that your treatment plan remains effective and is adjusted as needed.

Conclusion: Effectively managing hypertension during pregnancy is crucial for maternal and fetal health. By adhering to these expert tips and maintaining consistent communication with your healthcare team, you can navigate this condition successfully.
