Hi Vickie. Maybe the doctors will have different info for you, but I'll give you my experience. I developed high blood pressure during my pregnancy last year. My doctor prescribed Aldomet which he said was perfectly safe. I believe he also said it's really the only one prescribed during pregnancy. Once on it, I had no more problems with my bp and had a gorgeous and perfectly healthy daughter! Good luck!
