Hypertension medicine in pregnancy

Question

Asked for Female, 36 Years

I am having hypertension and 3 month ago I started medicine olmesar 20 MG for that as prescribed by doctor. I am planning for baby and probably I missed my periods. I am hoping that it may positive. I saw the warning on medicine that it is not recommended in pregnancy. I can't avoid medicine intake because my blood pressure suddenly goes 150-170/100-120 without medicine. I already had 2 miscarriages and now I can't afford one more miscarriage. Please suggest any hypertension medicine which one is safest in pregnancy.
