Abstract

Standardized conditions for blood pressure measurements and strict definitions of systolic and diastolic blood pressure are essential for a consequent management of hypertension during pregnancy. In Sweden, it has been agreed to measure blood pressure with the pregnant women sitting in upright position. Home-monitoring of blood pressure is recommended in women at risk of preeclampsia.
