What are the risk factors for developing pregnancy-induced hypertension?

Several: Being overweight is one of the major risk factors. Also very young or older patients are at increased risk. If you have a history of high blood pressure or if you had high blood pressure during a previous pregnancy, you are at increased risk. Eat lots of vegetables, exercise, do yoga, etc.
