Eslo is not that safe in pregnancy.
Nifedipine is better choice.

High blood pressure in pregnancy can be very dangerous and can be dangerous to the unborn child also, that’s why it is very essential that you take medicines to keep blood pressure in control, after pregnancy this medicine will be stopped, the normal blood pressure reading is due to the medicine , so keep taking the medicine as per your doctors advice
