Can high blood pressure be a symptom of pregnancy?

My blood pressure is usually really low… sometimes the machines can’t even register it. But lately its been pretty high. When I checked it about 10 minutes ago it was 120/94 which is exceptionally high for me. I think my mom had high blood pressure when she was pregnant but I can’t remember specifically.

Early in pregnancy your blood pressure is usually super low.
High blood pressure is too generic of a symptom in itself to warrant anyone assuming it’s pregnancy related.

I don’t think it is…if it is high it could be something else, so you might want to go to the doctor and get that checked out.
