Hypertension: A sustained increase in resting systolic BP (≥ 140 mmHg), diastolic BP (≥90 mmHg), or both, when not on anti-hypertensive medications and not in acute illness.
Hypertension is the most important modifiable risk factor for coronary heart disease, vascular diseases, stroke, and end stage renal disease❗️

Endocrine changes during pregnancy:
⬆️Insulin production & response:
• Blood sugar level usually remains normal, or sometimes becomes low.
•Sometimes the insulin response is met with resistance caused predominantly by human placental lactogen.
⬇️Follicular stimulating & luteinising hormones.
⬆️ACTH & melanocyte-stimulating hormone.
⬆️Prolactin.
