Hi Everyone - I am new to the forum. I would like to talk to some people who has experienced high blood pressure while pregnant/or before becoming pregnant. I developed chronic hypertension about 2 yrs ago, it runs in the family. My doctor changed my medicine to Aldomet and Norvasc 10 mg daily because we weren't using any form of birth control. My doc says these meds are safe to use while pregnant. Alot of people say the have used the Aldomet, but does anyone know about/or taken the Norvasc? It's a calcuim channel blocker. That's my concern, and to make sure that nothing was wrong with the baby while taking it. Were you on medicine the whole 9 months? I would love to talk. Please reply!
