    ok, thanks.. just want i wanted to hear! dh got all freaked out because he looked up the prescription on the internet and saw that there was very little research on it and the side effects of pregnancy. i told him that a high risk OB would know what is safe to give and what is not. but you know men, lol!

  • I'm taking Labetalol too.  100mg 2xday and its really been helping.

  • Labetalol and methyldopa are two of the most common choices for hypertension during pregnancy.  I see orders for them on pregnant patients routinely at my hospital.
