Patient's question:
My husband has had mild hypertension a year ago and has been taking half a tablet of Captopril daily. I have now discovered that I am unexpectedly pregnant. Could this affect the fetus? Can this child be kept?Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation is considered to have no impact on the fetus, so there is no need to worry. It is recommended to regularly undergo prenatal examinations such as ultrasound for anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening. Generally, doctors will advise women with signs of gestational hypertension to rest in bed and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
