Preeclampsia advice!

I was admitted with high blood pressure at 29+6, after several tests I was diagnosed with serve preeclampsia. They started me on labetalol, then when that stopped working added in nifedipine and when that stopped being as effective added in methyldopa which is finally keeping my blood pressure under control, however the methyldopa makes me feel so disorientated, drowsy, my hearing has gone very strange and it’s giving me the worst nightmares, has anyone else experienced this?

I’m now 31+5, still in hospital being monitored every two hours, I had a section booked in Friday just gone and they cancelled it due to a lack of beds in the neonatal unit and at other local hospitals. Last nights doctor said it’ll be a matter of days before they deliver baby, but this morning I’ve had a doctor tell me that I could potentially go home and visit the hospital for regular checkups… but can only see me going a week or two further. Has anyone ever been in a similar situation? Feeling very frustrated!
