Hello ladies, wondering if anyone here is pregnant and having high blood pressure? What medications are you on?
I had hypertension and induced labour at 38 weeks with my 1st child. Wasn't on medications back then. Eventually I was diagnosed with chronic hypertension a few months ago, before discovering i was pregnant.
I was fine on Adalat XL (which GP prescribed) and also nifedipine (prescribed by earlier gynae once i got pregnant). I then switched to KKH and they gave me methlydopa instead. Apparently it's the safest for pregnancy. But I feel so horrible taking methlydopa! I'm giddy and nauseous after taking the pills. Seriously considering switching back to nifedipine because I can barely work.
Anyone else went thru pregnancy successfully while on nefidipine and gave birth w/o any complications?
