I had high blood pressure before pregnancy. I watch my sodium intake and drink plenty of water, plus I'm taking 2(200mg) of Labetalol 3x a day. Has anyone done this before? Heard of birth defects or anything?

I had high blood pressure during pregnancy of my fourth child but I was prescribed a Methldopa (Aldomet) which was taken 2x daily along with controlled sodium on the diet and modified diet. My boy is now 6 months without any defect and is perfectly healthy.
Labetalol is used to control blood pressure during pregnancy with proper caution as it lowers blood pressure very quickly. It is usually used during the last stage of pregnancy or delivery. I had known some who had taken it without harm caused to the baby, the only possible effect would be the size of the baby which could become a bit smaller. Just watch your sodium intake and the diet as well. Take care.

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.
