I was wondering if anyone has found labetalol to have little effect?
I was given a prescription for 100mg BD at 17 weeks when my BP was 180/106. After a week or so my BP came down to 120s/80's but looking back I wonder if it was the second tri dip rather than the meds. I am now 22 weeks and over the last few days my BP is now consistently sitting in the 140-150/80-90. I know it's still not super high but it's the same on waking, a couple of hours after taking meds and it only goes up after activity but never down. I am aiming to keep my bp below 140/90 but above 110/70 to perfuse the placenta properly. Just wondering what other people's experiences were? I found this in my last pregnancy and I wonder whether pregnancy just resets my baseline bp.
