This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
During pregnancy, accurate blood pressure readings are really important for catching high blood pressure problems early. This study is testing whether the position of your arm during routine blood pressure checks changes the results you get. Researchers will measure your blood pressure several times in one visit, moving your arm to different positions each time, to see if where your arm is placed makes a difference in the reading.
Even though medical guidelines say your arm should be supported at heart level during blood pressure checks, many clinics measure blood pressure with arms in different positions — on your lap, at your side, or elsewhere. This study wants to find out if these non-standard positions give inaccurate readings that could lead doctors to miss or misdiagnose high blood pressure in pregnancy.

During a single routine clinic visit, trained nurses will take your blood pressure multiple times while you sit comfortably. Your arm will be positioned in three different ways — supported at heart level, supported on your lap, and unsupported at your side — and measurements will be taken in each position. The whole visit will take place during your normal prenatal care appointment, and you'll serve as your own comparison to see how each position affects your readings.
