I was wondering if there are any mums-to-be out there who's blood pressure went up during pregnancy but weren't diagnosed with preeclampsia?
My blood pressure went up 2 weeks before my due date so i was induced but i was never considered to have preeclampsia.
What forms of high blood pressure occur in pregnancy?
There are four main forms of high blood pressure in pregnancy:
Preeclampsia: This potentially serious disorder is characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine. It usually develops after the 20th week of pregnancy and goes away after delivery.
Gestational hypertension: This form of high blood pressure develops after the 20th week of pregnancy and goes away after delivery. Affected women do not have protein in the urine. However, some women with gestational hypertension develop preeclampsia later in pregnancy.
Chronic hypertension: This is high blood pressure that is diagnosed before pregnancy or before the 20th week of pregnancy. It does not go away after delivery.
Chronic hypertension with preeclampsia: About 25 percent of women with chronic hypertension also develop preeclampsia (1, 2).

What are the symptoms of preeclampsia and other forms of high blood pressure?
Most pregnant women with mild preeclampsia and other forms of high blood pressure have no symptoms. In order to detect these cases, providers measure a woman’s blood pressure and check her urine for protein at each prenatal visit. More severe cases of preeclampsia may be accompanied by:
Severe headaches
Vision problems (blurriness, flashing lights, sensitivity to light)
Pain in the upper right abdomen
Sudden weight gain (5 or more pounds in one week) with fluid retention in the legs and puffiness of the face
A pregnant woman should contact her health care provider right away if she develops any of these symptoms.
Most cases of preeclampsia are mild, with blood pressure around 140/90. However, even these cases must be properly managed to make sure the condition doesn’t worsen and cause serious problems.
What causes preeclampsia and who is at risk?
The causes of preeclampsia are not completely understood. It appears that placental abnormalities, genetic and immune factors and environmental exposures all may contribute (6). Studies show that women are more likely to develop preeclampsia if they have any of these risk factors (1, 4):
First pregnancy
Family history of preeclampsia
Personal history of chronic high blood pressure, kidney disease, diabetes, certain thrombophilias (blood-clotting disorders), systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune disorders
Multiple pregnancy
Age less than 20 years, or over 35
African-American
Higher-than-normal weight
Personal history of preeclampsia
There is a little more about preeclampsia i hope it helps. I had high blood pressure the last 2 days of my pregnancy and my son was born fine.

A friend of mine is scared to death she is going to have a c-section. She has been diagnosed with high blood pressure and she think she maybe in pre-labor. I told her it doesn't matter how she haves the baby as long as they are both safe. Are there any women who had high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia who were able to have a vaginal birth?
Not necessarily. It means that if it gets really bad she will have to deliver early. Meaning she will have to be induced.
