Excessive gestational weight gain appears to increase the risk of developing preeclampsia. Pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity increase the risk of excessive gestational weight gain as well as blood pressure and the incidence of preeclampsia. In pregnancy, weight appears to have a positive linear relationship with blood pressure.
