I have a history of gestational hypertension from my first pregnancy. I gained 80lbs and my bp was high from 24 weeks until the end.

This pregnancy my bp has been fine, except my last appointment it was slightly elevated but I was also laughing and talking when they took it. With my history they were a bit concerned but not too much.

I weighed myself last week I’ve only put on 20lbs this pregnancy, and I just weighed myself and I’ve put on 8 pounds in a week... is this a sign of hypertension coming??

I have had a huge appetite but it’s been that way for 2 months. I haven’t been eating the best, but I hadn’t gained weight from it up until this past week.

I’m just wondering if I need to be concerned about hypertension and if the weight gain is partial towards it. I haven’t had any vision changes, swelling or anything that I had with my first. I do have asthma and have been needing to take my inhaler 2 times a day (I normally only need it when I exercise), so I’m also concerned if that’s a sign.

Anyone have any experience?
