Detecting hypertension early is crucial. Many women may not be aware they have stage 1 hypertension, as it often has no obvious symptoms. Without monitoring and timely management, these seemingly minor elevations in blood pressure could lead to serious complications for both the mother and the developing baby.
Proactive healthcare plays a vital role in preventing complications. Regular blood pressure checks and early diagnosis allow doctors to intervene with lifestyle changes, medications, or other treatments. This reduces risks and ensures a safer pregnancy journey for mother and baby.
The study highlights the need for better awareness and routine screening in maternal healthcare systems. By addressing even mild cases of hypertension early on, healthcare providers can improve outcomes and safeguard the well-being of both mothers and their newborns.
