Main concern of conditions like high b/p. diabetes, etc are placenta function. Sometimes with these conditions placenta seems to slow up functioning earlier. Usually most OB people I have worked with stat doing weekly nonstress tests on moms with high blood pressure, or diabetes around this point in pregnancy. This is a noninvasive easy test, you are hooked up to fetal montior, and each time you feel baby move you push a button which makes a mark on test strip. Rationale is to see how baby;s heart rate responds to stress of movement. A good test shows baby' heart rate accelerating with movement.
