“…Saftlas (16), identified a BMI >29 preceding the gestation as a risk factor for gestational hypertension (OR, 3.43) and preeclampsia (OR, 1.81). In this study, the authors also found a higher BMI in the groups with gestational hypertension and severe preeclampsia (p<0.05) than in the group of women with a diagnosis of mild preeclampsia.…”

“…A higher body mass index before pregnancy or early in pregnancy is associated with increased risk for both preeclampsia and gestational hypertension (17,18,(21)(22)(23). Furthermore, greater gestational weight gain has also predicted risk for preeclampsia (17) or gestational hypertension (23), as has higher waist circumference (a measure of central adiposity) between 6 and 16 wk (22).…”

New-onset hypertension (which includes preeclampsia and gestational hypertension) is a common and morbid complication of pregnancy. Many features of the insulin resistance syndrome have been associated with this condition. These include hypertension, hyperinsulinemia, glucose intolerance, obesity, and lipid abnormalities. Other accompanying abnormalities may include elevated levels of leptin, TNFalpha, tissue plasminogen activator, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and testosterone. The documentation of these features before the onset of hypertension in pregnancy suggests that insulin resistance or associated abnormalities may have a role in this disorder. Furthermore, the recognition that features of the insulin resistance syndrome persist many years after pregnancy among women with this condition raises the possibility that these women may have increased risk for future cardiovascular disease. These observations suggest that interventions to reduce insulin resistance may reduce the risk of both hypertension in pregnancy and later life cardiovascular complications, and warrant further study.

“…84 Excessive gestational weight gain, on the other hand, puts women at risk for hypertension. 85 Regular exercise (three to four times per week) appears to be important for fetal development. Clapp et al 86 found that the offspring of women who engage in this type of exercise behavior are neurodevelopmentally more advanced than the offspring of nonexercisers.…”

In this paper, we propose that a history of sexual traumatization is associated with pregnancy complications and poor pregnancy-related outcomes. We further hypothesize that this relationship is mediated by the sequelae of trauma (psychopathology, health problems, and increased negative health behaviors). We review the literature linking sexual trauma with psychopathology, health, and health behavior and then outline the impact of these variables on pregnancy. Based on this review, we draw conclusions about the potential impact of sexual trauma on pregnancy outcomes. We suggest future directions for this area of research and discuss the clinical implications of this association, including the development of prenatal intervention and prevention programs.
