TL;DR
Maternal obesity and morbid obesity are strongly associated with blood pressure in each trimester, and increased risks of gestational hypertensive disorders.

Increasing BMI is associated with increased incidence of pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension, macrosomia, induction of labour and caesarean delivery; while underweight women had better pregnancy outcomes than women with normal BMI.

Most observational studies demonstrate a consistently strong positive association between maternal prepregnancy body mass index and the risk of preeclampsia, and increasing obesity in developed countries is likely to increase the occurrence of preeClampsia.

The results indicate that preeclampsia risk rises through most of the BMI distribution, and the dramatic elevation in overweight prevalence in the United States may increase preeClampsia incidence in the future.

383 Citations2010Chaturica Athukorala, Alice Rumbold +2 more
Obese women are at increased risk of gestational diabetes, pregnancy induced hypertension and pre-eclampsia, and babies of women who were obese were more likely to be large for gestational age and macrosomic compared with those of women with a normal BMI.

363 Citations2009Joan Crane, Joanne White +3 more
In women of normal weight, overweight, or obese, the rate of adverse outcome was lower in women with recommended weight gain than in those with excess weight gain, and the effects of gestational weight gain on pregnancy outcome depend on the woman's pre-pregnancy BMI.

The validity of maternal-recall self-reported preeclampsia is moderate and might suggest a lack of accuracy in patient-doctor communication with regard to the diagnostic criteria of the disease.

Autonomic responsiveness was found to be diminished in obese women with a BMI > 30 kg/m2 and in women with high risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes, which may indicate a maladaptive autonomic response that is imbalanced and disorganized and that reduces adaptation to environmental demands.

9 Citations2004David A. Calhoun, Guıdo Grassı
With conventional thinking, body weight gain causes hypertension, but a large body of evidence linking weight gain to increases in blood pressure suggests that up to 75% of the risk for hypertension is attributable to excess weight.
