Recently her blood pressure is increase & her doctor prescribe methyldopa 250 mg 2 tablets for 3 times a day & labetalol Hydrochloride 200 mg 1⁄2 tablet for 2 times a day.

She needs to be assessed and put on fetal surveillance as this seems to be growth restriction and ur wife needs to be induced and delivery needs to be done
Also these medicines are safe

Fluctuating bld pressure is common with pregnancy induced hypertension.. Drugs given are absolutely safe.. By your sonography report baby attains maturity about 34wks though by dates she is 37wks.. Here I will suggest Color Doppler sonography report.. If done by seeing it only we can think how much time in your hand or better to go for section.. There are many other parameter to assess also... One thing is imp that she should need a planned institution delivery or tartairy care Center...
