I have been taking blood pressure medication until I got pregnant and my doctor prescribed nifedipine and methyldopa for me. Can it have an effect on my baby.

Which antihypertensive where you taking before you got pragnant? To answer your query, nifedipine and alpha methyldopa are both safe in pragnancy. No effect on baby, not taking those medicine will hv effect on baby, high bp = less blood going to baby, not to over correct and be hypotensive as well, do not adjust dose of your antihypertensive by your self.
