Objectives: To assess the relationship between the body mass index (BMI) with the blood pressure in pregnant women during their second trimester of gestation in conjunction with socioeconomic and demographic variables. Methods: Transversal and descriptive-correlational study in 168 pregnant prior informed consent; applied survey Graffar Méndez-Castellano (Graffar M-C) and we collected data from the pregnancy. The sample was stratified using the graph of Atalah that evaluates the nutritional status of pregnant women and measured blood pressure according to Protocol. Results: Overweight and obesity represented 47.1 per cent of pregnant; in those without a partner 60 % and they did couple 45.2 %. Overweight and obesity was 60.1 % in patients with female fetuses with 35.5.% male fetuses. (PS) and diastolic (PD) systolic blood pressure were significantly (P < 0.001) higher in pregnant ≥ 35 years. The PD was higher in pregnant without a partner (P < 0.001). The PS was higher in the stratum II of Graffar M-C (P < 0.001) and the PD IV (P < 0.003). In pregnant women with female fetuses, the PS was greater than they did male fetuses (P < 0.02). Overweight patients presented the largest figure both PD (P < 0.0001) and PS (P < 0.0001). We found a significant and positive correlation between the values of PS with the maternal age and BMI. Conclusions: The overweight-obesity, as well as pregnant without a partner, with female foetuses and ≥ 35 years are factors to be considered in the pregnant women at risk of high blood pressure
