Is it okay to take Methyldopa even if BP is normal?Should I take it as maintenance til manganak ako?

Mumsh, paadvise po. Pinapatake kasi ako ng Methyldopa twice a day. Pero right now, normal naman yung BP ko ranging from 110/80 to 130/80. Should I still take Methyldopa twice a day kahit di ako hypertensive? I have been monitoring my BP since July 15 up until now but no changes still normal BP. Overweight kasi ako prior pregnancy and my current weight is at 72 kilos. I was also strictly advised to not take maalat and matataba to avoid hypertension. Ngayon, sabi s hospital I might have gestational hypertension ruled out preeclampsia. Worried sick and overthinker nako kaya bumili talaga ako pang automatic arm blood pressure device to monitor my blood pressure kaso, s digital umaabot ako ng 140/100 kaya ngpapasecond opinion ako s brgy health center kasi s manual n pang bp normal lang ako - around 110/80 to 120/80 lang. Nakakaparanoid tuloy. 😣 I'm currently 31weeks and 5days today. #advicepls #pregnancy

Hi momsh better monitor your bp morning and night po. Methyldopa is safe for pregnancy at bnbgay sya to control Bp. Nagcheck ka naba ng urine protein?

Took the labtest but di ko p nkuha yung result. Will it affect po b s urine proteim result? Gusto ko kasi mg lying in/normal delivery lang sana. Fear of hospitals n din kasi due to covid. 🥺
