Blood Pressure Spikes In Pregnant Women – What Your Body Might Be Trying to Tell You

Explore causes and personalized insights for blood pressure spikes in pregnant women using advanced testing with Mito Health.

Why It Happens

Pregnancy causes natural blood pressure shifts — but sudden spikes could indicate increased cardiovascular stress or early signs of complications like preeclampsia.

Hormonal Fluctuations: Estrogen and progesterone affect vascular tone throughout pregnancy.

Increased Blood Volume: The body produces more fluid, which can raise pressure in sensitive individuals.

Placental Function Issues: Abnormalities in the placenta can cause vascular tension.

Stress and Anxiety: Emotional strain during pregnancy can contribute to elevated BP.

Diet and Sodium Intake: Salt sensitivity increases during pregnancy for some women.

How to Manage

Attend All Prenatal Visits: Regular checks help catch pressure shifts early.

Eat a Balanced, Low-Sodium Diet: Focus on potassium-rich whole foods.

Manage Stress Mindfully: Gentle movement, meditation, or music can help.

Stay Hydrated: Dehydration can increase vascular resistance.

Know the Warning Signs: Blurred vision, headache, or swelling warrant urgent care.

With close care and calm support, pregnancy-related pressure shifts can be managed safely.
