Summary

This study looks at whether treating mild high blood pressure (stage 1) in pregnant women can lead to healthier birth weights for their babies. About 74 pregnant women with blood pressure between 130-139/80-89 mmHg will be split into two groups: one that gets medication to keep blood pressure below 130/80, and another that only gets treatment if blood pressure rises higher. The goal is to see if active treatment makes a difference in baby's birth weight.
