High blood pressure post natal

I went in for my routine checkup when I was 37 weeks pregnant and they saw that my blood pressure high and wasn't dropping so they ended up inducing me. I was on labetatol for 2 months straight. Initially took it twice a day but had to increase to 3 times a day (every 8 hours) and that wasn't very fun haha. I just got off of it last month and was put on amlodipine for a more of a longer-term solution.

I was sent home with 6 weeks supply of blood pressure medication after my second baby. I had to take them then was reviewed by my gp, who slowly reduced the amount and was off them after around 3 months. Make sure you’re drinking lots of water as mine always spiked when dehydrated.

I was low risk my entire pregnancy but suddenly had postpartum hypertension a few days after delivery. Was admitted for a day and a half to stabilize my BP and then sent home with labetalol as well. Thankfully my BP started getting better quickly as I controlled my salt intake, stayed super hydrated and monitored my BP twice a day at home. I was cleared to get off meds in 2 weeks and now at 4 weeks pp I’m back to normal!
