Expected effects of body mass index on mean arterial pressure, at different time points during pregnancy, in the hypertensive and normotensive pregnant women. Solid line, 12–14 weeks; dashed line, 18–22 weeks; dotted line, 29–33 weeks; dashed-dotted line, at delivery. The effect is always the same, geometrically reflected on a unique slope, regardless of the time period and hypertensive status
