140/90: Is upper limit of normal. Many normal women have very low bps and that's normal for them. It tends to drop in the first trimester.

Pre-eclampsia: BP of 140/90 or higher is considered high for pregnant pts. When the BP is high enough to cause protien to show in the moms urine (kidey damage) its called pre-eclamsia. When mom has a seizure its called eclampsia.Eclampsia is the second leading cause of fetal death in usa. Pre-eclamsia can cause low birth weight and premature birth.
