Has anyone ever taken Aldomet for high blood pressure?

I currently take Diovan and Norvasc for my high blood pressure. I told my doctor I will be trying to conceive soon, and he told me to stay on the Norvasc and he switch me to Aldomet 250 mg 3 x's a day (instead of Diovan), because he said this medicine is pregnancy safe.
Has anyone ever used it in pregnancy, did you have side effects? Please let me know, Thanks.

i am 30 week pregnant now. when i found out i was pregnant i was actually in a very expensive blood pressure medicine called tarka they took it away right away and put me on aldomet twice a day so far is the best medicine i ever took for hbp, but dont get fooled, naturaly your body lowers your blood pressure so it can rise at the end to a "normal level"
i have what is called chronic HBP, if you are overweight try to loose some weight before you conceive and during your pregnancy eat the healthiest you can that will help. aldomet is being good for me i hope it works for you but i think you should ask your doctor about the dose your taking because they put me on 2 pills a day 250mg so they can increase the dose in case because the most you can handle is 3 pills a day! i hope you can getr pregnant soon!
good luck
