Monitoring - high BP: Fetal heart rate monitoring is indicated in the third trimester for women with chronic hypertension, especially if there is an increase in blood pressure. A physician should discuss what is needed for each particular case given the history before and during pregnancy and outcome of prior pregnancies. Additional monitoring with ultrasound studies may also be ordered.

Perhaps: Labetolol can cross the placental barrier, so perhaps more frequent monitoring is warranted.
