Which is not a first-line treatment option for hypertension during pregnancy?

  1. Labetalol

  2. Nifedipine ER

  3. Methyldopa

  4. Thiazide

The correct answer is: Thiazide

Thiazide diuretics are generally not recommended as a first-line treatment option for hypertension during pregnancy. While thiazides are commonly used in the general population to treat hypertension, they are not preferred during pregnancy due to potential concerns about fetal effects. Labetalol, Nifedipine ER, and Methyldopa are commonly used as first-line treatment options for hypertension during pregnancy due to their safety profiles and efficacy in controlling blood pressure in pregnant women without causing harm to the fetus.
