The influence of fetal sex on maternal blood pressure in pregnancy

2025-01-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Pregnancy with a male fetus carries a higher risk of term pre-eclampsia than pregnancy with a female fetus. Based on evidence that maternal blood pressure (BP) may be raised in pregnancies with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (fetal overgrowth), a possible contributing factor to the association between male sex and term pre-eclampsia is that males grow faster, reaching ∼130 g higher birth weight, o...
