The Blood pressure is slightly high due to pregnancy. This is called PIH/gestational hypertension and can occur after 20 weeks. *It is manageable with regular check-ups. *Report immediately if severe headache, blurred vision, upper abdominal pain, or reduced baby movements. 💊 Take medicines regularly, take rest, and don’t miss follow-ups.
