Pregnant women require regular blood pressure monitoring throughout pregnancy. Normal systolic blood pressure ranges from 100 to 140 mmHg, and normal diastolic blood pressure ranges from 60 to 90 mmHg. Blood pressure within this range is considered normal and poses no adverse effects. If hypertension develops, oral antihypertensive medication may be required. Additionally, a low-salt diet should be strictly followed, edema should be monitored, routine prenatal examinations should be conducted regularly, and fetal growth and development should be closely observed. Strict adherence to a low-salt diet is essential for managing hypertension during pregnancy.
