Gestational Hypertension | Cedars-Sinai

What are the symptoms of gestational hypertension?

Symptoms can occur a bit differently in each pregnancy.

The main symptom is high blood pressure in the second half of pregnancy.

High blood pressure in pregnancy can lead to other serious issues. These can include preeclampsia. You should watch for signs of high blood pressure, but some people don't have any symptoms. They can include:

  • Headache that doesn’t go away
  • Edema (swelling)
  • Sudden weight gain
  • Vision changes, such as blurred or double vision
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Pain in the upper right side of your belly, or pain around your stomach
  • Making small amounts of urine
