Pregnancy Induced hypertension
Hi, I am 20 week 5 days pregnant, my blood pressure started rising from 20 week 1 days, it has gone up to 150/90. I am taking ecosprin 150 mg from 14 weeks. I am under observation for BP from 3 days where the dosage for labetalol started from 100 mg and now I'm taking 200 mg thrice a day. Now BP is normal. My pre anamoly scan which was done on 17 weeks 5 days was normal. After hypertension, anamoly scan shows 19 week. Seems like less growth, will baby growth will be normal if I control my BP through medication. Will there be still problem of growth restrictions?
