Did your obgyn comments anything abt it? My understanding is that one with older age or obesity tends to have the risk of high blood pressure during pregnancy, and it may lead to pre-eclampsia/ eclampsia, which is a complication in pregnancy. For both of you and baby safety, obgyn will usually prescribed medication (eg: Cardiprin 100mg) to control the blood pressure or as a precaution in preventing pre-eclampsia. I myself had started it when i was week 14 as a precaution due to my age. My blood pressure is normal, but obgyn just advised me to start it as early as possible. As he said, pre-eclampsia tends to kicks in fr 5/6 mths onwards, and it'd be too late to only start medication by that time. Always check with your obgyn. Take care
