anyone on a beta-blocker while pregnant?
I have to go back on my heart meds due to my dizziness which is caused by my heart apparently. Im worried.. they want me to go back on Coreg as long as my ob specialist agrees. Is anyone else on a beta- blocker? If so, which one? Thanks, im bummed out.

Re: anyone on a beta-blocker while pregnant?
I'm so sorry to hear that
apparently it's a category C drug......
apparently, all beta blockers pass through the placenta, but some may pass less than others (like other drugs, it's mainly how lipophilic the drug is...)
definitely sit down and have a talk with your OB.... just from a phamacology perspective, I would recommend a drug that's been around a while (not one that is relatively new on the market), since much more testing will have been done on it, and there will be many more studies researching how it may affect a pregnancy.....
good luck.......
