AB In  reproductive-aged  women,  the  prevalence  of  hypertension  approximates  6  percent  (Centers  for  Disease  Control  and  Prevention,  2017).  Thus,  not  surprisingly,  chronic  hypertension  is  one  of  the  most  common  serious  complications  encountered  during  pregnancy.  In  one  study  of  more  than  56  million  births,  the  incidence  was  1.8  percent  (Bateman,  2012).  Chronic  hypertension  complicated  2.3  percent  of  pregnancies  in  data  from  the  Medicaid  Analytic  Extract  (Bateman,  2015).  Despite  an  increasing  prevalence  from  1970  to  2010,  optimal  management  has  not  been  well  studied  (Ananth,  2019).
