Given all the hype about blood pressure in pregnancy, high blood pressure decidedly <i>is</i> a problem for women in pregnancy and in my case it was caused by ordinary day to day stress. I also find the 2001 article I cited more compelling than a journalist's summary of research.Jennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693855868835555292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203036662354683172.post-29330619636654547122010-04-03T07:36:32.340-07:002010-04-03T07:36:32.340-07:00I'm sorry you were triggered by that article. ...I'm sorry you were triggered by that article. I could not link to it, but I think the reason they are not including high blood pressure as a problem for the baby is that the study seems focused on mental outcomes for the baby, not physical outcomes. It seems they were specifically looking at what types of anxiety in the mother cause long term effects for the baby. So, anything that causes a physical issue for the mother would no really be applicable to what they were studying for. That is the way I am reading it any way, but maybe I'm missing something?Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498924666759683444noreply@blogger.com
