You have: an 'increased risk" of developing gestational hypertension again HOWEVER KNOWING this can alert your OB-GYN to your "increased risk pregnancy" and EARLY TREATMENT will prevent any7 complications!!! You may be asked to visit your Health Care Provider more often...AND you CERTAINLY can start NOW limiting your SALT intake! Hope this helps! Dr Z
