labetalol for high blood pressure - any experience?

[AuntieMaggie]

I've been put on the above for high blood pressure at 36+3 weeks and feeling queasy -is this normal?

I was prescribed the same around the same time as you in my pregnancy!
The dose was upped a couple of times but then at 38 weeks i was induced as my bp was still rising!
Had to be weaned off after baby was born but now bp back to normal!
I felt funny but i think it was being nervous that I had something wrong with me and my high blood pressure gave me a really unsettled panicky feeling which is how i knew something wasn't quite right and thats when I went to my midwife!

Thanks. They've warned me about upping dose and induction at 38 weeks. I've got funny queasy type feeling but I don't know if it's the tablets or other stuff I've got going on.

I'm sure you will be fine. Probably a mix of everything making you feel like that. But definitely trust your instincts and phone your midwife if you think things aren't right!
Good luck with the birth

I was on this for high BP with DC1, didn't have any side effects and delivered at 39 weeks by ELCS due to low placenta - so early arrival wasn't BP related. DC1 is fine :)
