5 Ways to Prevent Hypertension During Pregnancy
I advise every pregnant woman to take these practical steps to lower the risk of high blood pressure:
1.Attend all antenatal check-ups – Regular visits allow early detection and management before problems start.
2.Eat a balanced, low-salt diet – Focus on fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid processed foods and added table salt.
3.Stay active daily – Walk for 30 minutes most days or do light pregnancy-safe exercises. Movement helps keep blood pressure steady.
4.Monitor your weight gain – Follow your doctor’s recommended weight targets. Sudden increases can signal trouble.
5.Avoid smoking, alcohol, and stress – Get enough rest, stay calm, and never smoke or drink during pregnancy.
These simple habits protect both you and your baby. If you have any question dm or see your doctor
