Induction on Labetalol

1 reply

Jane88b · 25/07/2021 23:05

I am 37+4 days, my BP has been high or low, I have (and they very well know), “white coat syndrome”.
I had blood tests taken today and my BP was higher, as I hadn’t taken my meds yet.
I only take 2x100mg Labetalol a day.
The midwife today mentioned / which no one else previously has, is that taking Labetalol they won’t let you go past your due date?
I have a meeting with a consultant in a few days to discuss what will happen and when.
I’ve only taken this medication for 5 weeks and I thought I’d have been informed earlier.
Does anyone else have any experience with this?
Thank you

I was put on this for the last 5 weeks or so of my pregnancy and no one mentioned I wouldn't be able to go past my due date
I think the maximum they'd let me go was a week though
