Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
As per my opinion avoid use of Labebet (Labetalol) during pregnancy. Hydralazine and methyldopa are safer drugs to be used in pregnancy. So, if Methyldopa alone is not controlling BP then start Hydralazine 24 hourly along with it. Check blood pressure every 3-4 days until it comes to normal range.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
