Hypertension in pregnancy Hypertension in pregnancy, whether chronic or recently diagnosed, is always a matter of concern for the general practitioner or the obstetrician. Even if this situation often evolves favorably, and although a "wait and see" attitude may be preferred to an aggressive one in such cases, one should also be aware of how dramatic the outcome may also be.
