Specializes in Maternal-Fetal Medicine

34-39 weeks.: Chronic hypertension in pregnancy should be delivered by 34-39 depending on blood pressure control, preeclampsia, maternal-fetal status, fetal growth and doppler studies. Aldomet (methyldopate) is one of the safest antihypertensives in pregnancy, provided it is taken as prescibed without missing doses (rebound effect dangerous). A maternal-fetal medicine consultation may help your obstetrician decide.
