HI,
I understand your concern.
* If you are already a patient of high blood pressure, you should inform your treating doctor about your pregnancy .. so that he can change you treatment with a safer drug.
* If the BP is raised with pregnancy, High Blood pressure in a single reading can be due to temporary physical/ psychological stress. SO Repeated recording of blood pressure showing raised Bp is confirmatory
. you will be given expectant treatment ( rest, have stress free life, try pranayama/ meditation for mind concentration./ avoid excess salt,alcohole, late nights, smoking,..)
If not controlled with this a regular treatment/ regular checkups of urine & weight gain are kept. USG is done to monitor fetal development .. and with these & regular medication, pregnancy can be taken to term & child birth .
In short, don't be concerned, visit your doctor & follow the instructions given You will be alright.
thanks,
