A member asked:

Is having a baby too risky if i have high blood pressure that's still high on medications?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

At a higher risk: Hypertension is a chronic disease and has significant health consequences thus recommended to have adequate treatement. High BP during pregnancy poses risks for both mom and baby--fetal growth retardation etc..And higher risks for "pre-eclampsia" etc.. Would try as hard as u can and work with your doc to get BP under good/stable level before becoming pregnant..It is hard, but doable..Good luck.
