Went for a 28 week growth scan and consultant appt yesterday morning (extra scans are for raised doppler and low pappa) and was admitted due to blood pressure being 152/100. I was started on 200mg of labetalol to be taken 3 times a day. Blood pressure was back to a normal level throughout the night after taking first dose. However, when I woke up this morning it’s back up to a similar reading again, even though I’ve had two more doses of medication and lay here all day… Blood test and urine is all fine. I feel disorientated, have got swollen ankles and hands and a dull headache. Baby is absolutely fine.
Has anyone else had any similar situations? Is it just a waiting game to see if the medication starts working properly? Starting to worry but don’t want to bother the midwives!
