My consultant has prescribed nifedipine for my high blood pressure. He knows we are TTC, we discussed taking medication in pregnancy and he told me that women with pre-eclampsia take this with no problems.
However everything I read contraindicates nifedipine in pregnancy and seems to go against NICE guidelines. There does seem to be medication which is safe to have in pregnancy so I'm not sure why he hasn't prescribed this.
Does anyone have experience of taking this drug in pregnancy? I know people have taken it later in pregnancy but I'm worried about the early stages when the foetus is developing. I don't see my consultant for another three months so it is a while to wait until I can question him!
