High Blood Pressure during Pregnancy?

What are some ways to prevent or help reduce high blood pressure, other than the medication when it becomes necessary? I am referring to borderline high blood pressure that appears to only occur each time pregnant. What can done to prevent it from getting so bad as to need medication? Thanks!

Get a good OB/GYN that knows how to take care of patients with this. I had untreated high BP during my pregnancy and ended up having a child with Cerebral Palsy. My doc was dumb and kept telling me "You’re fine". Now my son is left with a lifetime of problems that he shouldn’t have. PLEASE get good medical care with an educated and experienced doc. If you have a good doc, they will know exactly what to tell you to do.
