Metoprolol

I am 6w3d.....and I was told to continue to take Metoprolol....for hypertension....I'm really worried....is anyone else or has anyone else taken this medication.....? :(

Re: Metoprolol

  • If it was your doctor that told you to continue your Metoprolol, then I would continue to take it, the benefits definitely out weigh the risks during pregnancy, especially since pregnancy can cause high blood pressure in a patient who doesn't already have hypertension. 

    If you're really worried - have another discussion with your doctor or OB so they can let you know their reasoning and maybe make you feel more at ease - or even find an alternative (if that's a possibility).

  • The benefits outweigh any risk, which are minimal. High blood pressure is very very very dangerous for you & baby.
