When i was 31 weeks pregnant i was diagnosed with pregnancy induced hypertension and then pre-eclampsia and was put on 250mg tablets of methyldopa, i started on one tablet a day... 3 days later i was bumped up to 2 tablets a day (500mgs).... couple of weeks later i was on three a day (750mgs).... by the time i was 35 weeks pregnant they were asking me to take yet another, so 4 tablets a day or 1000mgs.... by that stage i refused to take anymore i figured the baby was practically full term and i had already been given steroid injections at 31 weeks to help develop her lungs (as they were about to induce me then as by blood pressure was 200/100 and wasn't changeing any time soon...) so i figured if they needed to induce me everything would be fine, I was admitted at 36 weeks and two days later i was induced and after 32hrs of labour and only dilating 1 1/2cms i was given an emergency c-section and had a beautiful healthy baby girl :)
