Hi fellow mummies. Im not first time mummy but my last pregnancy was 14 to 15 years ago. And i vaguely remember the process of breastfeeding, or perhaps the pain of it. However, this time, i am determined to give full BF a try. Can you give my advices on what to mentally prepare myself? And secondly, even if i cannot latch, i still want to be able to give BM. Which affordable/ cost saving yet effective and efficient breast pump is reccomended?

High Blood Pressure in early pregnancy

Im in my 40s and pregnant with my 3rd child. I have high blood pressure. I had only recently found out i was pregnant. The age gap between my youngest (2nd son) and my current pregnancy is 14 years. I have visited GP for referral to see an obstetrician. At the GP, at first, the doctor told me he will increase my present dosage, - from amLODIPine Tablet 2.5mg to 5mg). When we were at the pharmacy, the same GP doctor kindly came up to us and said he had switched us from amLODIPine to NIFEdipine LA tablet - 60mg. It was a fast process so I didnt really process everything until later. I know I should trust the doctor when he said that NIFEdipine is safer for pregnancy as compared to amLODIPine. But i doubtful fingers turned to google and the risk is there. I fear mongered myself. Anyone has experience with hypertension/ high BP while pregnant or is in the medical industry? Would you like to share some tips and advice on how i can manage myself?

Hi there, congratulations on your third child. I totally get the worry, especially after Dr Google starts talking at you. Here's the thing though: your GP switched you to nifedipine specifically because he assessed your situation and knows it's the safer choice for pregnancy. The fact that he came back to explain and change it shows he was being thoughtful. But honestly, with high BP in early pregnancy at 40-plus, this really needs close monitoring by your obstetrician, not just reassurance from forums. Please make sure you keep that OB appointment and bring all your concerns with you, including any worries about the medication. They'll have your full picture and can explain the reasoning in a way that helps you feel more confident. In the meantime, try to stick with what your GP advised. I know the fear is real, but your doctor knows your case. The OB will review everything anyway. Take care of yourself, and try not to spiral on Google too much for this one. You've got medical support on board.
