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

nag 140/100 po ako last check up ko kaya pinag gamot rin ako ng Ob ko nyan. lalo po kung laging nag rerange ng 130 ang bp, might as well take the medicine po. may history rin sa family ko ng hypertension kaya ayun.
