Pregnant with chronic hypertension
I just found out 3 days ago that I'm pregnant. I'm considered high risk for two reasons. 1. I'm 41 and will be 42 at birth. 2. I have hypertension and have been taking 10mg of amodipine besylate to treat it for a while. So when I found out, I stopped taking the amodipine. But yesterday, took my pressure and it was elevated. So I freaked out and took have a pill of the amodipine. Now I'm scared that taking this half does has killed my unborn fetus. There is NO blood and my period hasn't come. Hel

Ur age is a risk for chromosomal abnormalities in fetus but that can be tested at 11-14 weeks and pregnancy can be continued
Thirdly ur hypertension may cause worsening of function of kidneys during pregnancy and that can be a risk to u
I would suggest u to meet a geneticist gynecologist a physician and get tests done and clearance taken to go ahead vd pregnancy if u wish to
