Hypertension post pregnancy

I got diagnosed with hypertension at week 34 of pregnancy (which got increasingly worse )and got put on Labetalol which has been increased over time (ended up on 300 g four times a day) and niefdipine(10g once a day). I was in and out of hospital, during pregnancy and after birth. I am now 6 weeks postpartum, and blood pressure still high. Been taken of niefdipine but nothing else as so high. Has anyone else had similar? Seems like generally people blood pressure drops by 6 weeks. Thanks in advance

I’m the same however was on 600mg labetalol. 4 weeks postpartum I’m now starting to coming down, and have actually experienced low blood pressure.

I’m the same my BP rocketed during pregnancy resulting in my boy being delivered at 31 weeks and mine has never come down since! my GP said sometimes it doesn’t go back to normal. I’m on Labetalol and nifidepine it doesn’t seem to make much difference. I’m trying to get my steps in apparently exercise helps xx
