Gestational hypertension or pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is the development of new hypertension in a pregnant woman after 20 weeks' gestation without the presence of protein in the urine or other signs of pre-eclampsia.[1] Gestational hypertension is defined as having a blood pressure greater than 140/90 on two occasions at least 6 hours apart.[1]
