We evaluated the influence of maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), based on reported pre-pregnancy weight and height, on blood pressure (BP) levels during pregnancy by using information from a prospective cohort of 1733 women recruited before 20 weeks' gestation. Maternal antenatal BP values were abstracted from medical records, and we evaluated the mean BP differences according to BMI group in regression models, using generalised estimating equations to account for repeated BP records…

Blood Pressure Variation Throughout Pregnancy According to Early Gestational BMI: A Brazilian Cohort
TLDR
Women with excessive early pregnancy BMI had higher SBP and DBP than their normal-weight counterparts throughout pregnancy, but not in the postpartum period, while women with excessive weight at early pregnancy showed higher mean SBP in all gestational trimesters, and higher mean DBP in the first and third trimeters.
Blood Pressure Variation Throughout Pregnancy According to Early Gestational BMI: A Brazilian Cohort.
TLDR
Women with excessive early pregnancy BMI had higher SBP and DBP than their normal-weight counterparts throughout pregnancy, but not in the postpartum period, while women with excessive weight at early pregnancy showed higher mean SBP in all gestational trimesters, and higher mean DBP in the first and third trimester.
Modelling the association of blood pressure during pregnancy with gestational age and body mass index.
Improved understanding of the determinants of blood pressure (BP) changes during pregnancy is essential for decreasing the morbidity and mortality borne by women and their families worldwide. While…
Does pre-pregnancy BMI determine blood pressure during pregnancy? A prospective cohort study
TLDR
Pre-pregnancy BMI determines the level, but not the change, of blood pressure in pregnancy and is linked to higher odds for gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia, independent of gestational weight gain.
Associations of maternal obesity with blood pressure and the risks of gestational hypertensive disorders. The Generation R Study
TLDR
Maternal obesity and morbid obesity are strongly associated with blood pressure in each trimester, and increased risks of gestational hypertensive disorders.
The association between maternal anthropometry and blood pressure in pregnancy – results from the Croatian islands’ birth cohort study (CRIBS)
TLDR
This study defines trajectory of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure in 308 pregnant participants from the CRIBS study and analyses the association of blood pressure with maternal BMI prior to pregnancy and maternal anthropometry during pregnancy to reinforce the role of BMI on SBP and DBP and highlights its importance during prenatal care monitoring.
Blood pressure in healthy pregnancy and factors associated with no mid-trimester blood pressure drop: a prospective cohort study.
TLDR
The different patterns of mid-trimester change in BP seem to be determined by preexisting and pregnancy-related factors, except family history of hypertension and outside temperature variation.
Relationship between body mass index and mean arterial pressure in normotensive and chronic hypertensive pregnant women: a prospective, longitudinal study
TLDR
In both NT and HT pregnant women, MAP is strongly (and significantly) influenced by increases in BMI, and this effect is independent from the time period and from hypertensive status.
Influence of pre-pregnancy body mass index and gestational weight gain in twin pregnancies on blood glucose, serum lipid and perinatal outcomes
TLDR
Preterm and birth weight are adversely influenced by excessive or insufficient GWG, and pre-pregnancy overweight or obese in women with twin pregnancies adversely influence glucose levels, serum lipid concentrations and perinatal outcomes.
Total cholesterol and leptin concentrations are associated with prospective changes in systemic blood pressure in healthy pregnant women
TLDR
Serum total cholesterol and leptin concentrations, HOMA-IR, and BMI were positively associated with changes in BP during healthy pregnancies, whereas physical activity, parity, and family income were negatively associated.

Blood pressure patterns through consecutive pregnancies are influenced by body mass index.
TLDR
The interrelationship among blood pressure levels, parity, and body mass index in normal pregnancy resembles the situation in hypertensive pregnancies, which implies common adaptive mechanisms.

TLDR
Progressive glucose intolerance is associated with an upward shift in blood pressure in the third trimester of pregnancy in normotensive women.
Blood Pressure and Adiposity in Children and Adolescents
TLDR
Mean SBP and the prevalence of high-normal and elevated SBP are elevated in children and adolescents and public policy, public health programs, and clinical preventive measures are urgently needed to address the obesity epidemic and its hemodynamic consequences.
Differences in Circadian Pattern of Ambulatory Pulse Pressure Between Healthy and Complicated Pregnancies
TLDR
The differences in pulse pressure between healthy and complicated pregnancies, observed already in the first trimester of gestation, are found when systolic and diastolic blood pressure for women with a later diagnosis of gestational hypertension or preeclampsia are within the accepted range of normotension.
Ambulatory versus conventional methods for monitoring blood pressure during pregnancy.
TLDR
There is no randomised controlled trial evidence to support the use of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring during pregnancy, in particular in hypertensive pregnant women, and randomized trials with adequate design and sample sizes are needed.
Maternal Plasma Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and Risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
TLDR
The results raise the possibility that current efforts to encourage populations to consume diets rich in antioxidants, including vitamin C, could reduce the occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus.
Plasma Adiponectin Concentrations in Early Pregnancy and Subsequent Risk of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
TLDR
To determine the extent to which low maternal plasma adiponectin is predictive of gestational diabetes mellitus, a condition that is biochemically and epidemiologically similar to type 2 diabetes, a prospective, nested case-control study design was used.
Obesity as a Risk Factor for Cesarean in a Low‐Risk Population
Construction and characterisation of a longitudinal clinical blood pressure database for epidemiological studies of hypertension in pregnancy.
TLDR
The construction of a representative longitudinal blood pressure analysis database drawn from routinely collected measurements is described and the influence of maternal pre-pregnancy adiposity on blood pressure levels across gestation is explored.
Maternal obesity and pregnancy outcomes
TLDR
Recommendations regarding the counselling of obese pregnant women and specific guidelines for the obstetrician, family physician, or midwife managing the pregnancy are presented.
