Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) (or gestational hypertension) is defined as the development of new arterial hypertension in a pregnant woman after 20 weeks gestation.

There is no specific treatment, but is monitored closely to rapidly identify pre-eclampsia and its life-threatening complications (HELLP syndrome and eclampsia). Treatment options are limited, as many antihypertensives may negatively affect the fetus; methyldopa and labetalol are most commonly used for severe pregnancy hypertension.
