Pre-eclampsia: Any activity which may cause elevations in blood pressure in pregnancy, especially with "borderline pre-eclampsia" should be evaluated for continuation by your OB physician. Pre-eclampsia should be followed closely by your OB physician, as increasing severity may put your pregnancy and the fetus in jeopardy.
