Clonidine, atenolol

I live in the usa now. i have high bp and in israel iwas given mathildopa for the begging of my pregenecy and then put off it, i wasnt on anything else during the gregency. I'm planning another baby now and the doctor here gave me Clonidine, atenolol alomg with aspirin and folic acid. he said not to worry about dammage to the baby and that i will be taking these meds through out my pregenency. I do feel worried cause I cant get a second opinion here he said the concern with these med is blood flow to the baby and how its growing but that he will keep a close eye on me

Hello Karen I tend to agree with your "second opinion" doctor who advised you to start alternative drugs/ The drugs of choice during pregnancy are alpha methyldopa and labetolol Good lucK Dr Klieger Chagit
