Try to stay relaxed and not overwork yourself na. Stress can push it up. Keep your doctor in the loop and you will be fine.

Staying active with light walks if doc allows, cutting down on salty packaged food, and good sleep all help. But genuinely the best prevention is regular bp checks at your appointments.

I developed high bp in my third trimester so please take your checkups seriously. Low salt, rest and managing stress helped, but the regular monitoring by my gynac caught it early. Dont skip appointments yaar.
