Sarena M asked:
I am 15 weeks pregnant. I have been battling high blood pressure since day 1. My OB put me on Labetalol, a medication for hbp. It seems to be helping some, but my reading are all over the map during the day. I’m afraid he will put me on bedrest, which I don’t know how we will afford. We need my income right now. (I’ll do it if I need to though)
Does anyone have any suggestions to go along with the medication? I’d appreciate them greatly.

Get rid of the guy, that did this to you!!! That should help…
Just kidding…
Maybe change eating habits and drink lots of water?
gentle exercises to reduce stress?
Good luck
If it is okay with the doctor, try to go for a walk a day, reduce as much stress as possible, and eat really healthy with a lot of whole grains and fruit and veggies, drink lots of water. Good luck.
LISTEN TO ME!!!!! I have the same issue. When you are resting, lay on your LEFT side at all times and make sure you drink plenty of water and stay away from salt. When you lay on your left side it helps with circulation and for some reason lowers blood pressure. I am 35 weeks along and just stopped working.
