1. Monitor blood pressure and fetal heart rate regularly to adjust labetalol dosage safely and ensure fetal well-being.
2. Avoid abrupt medication changes; gradual dose adjustments help maintain stable maternal blood pressure.
3. Regularly assess liver function and symptoms of heart failure as labetalol can affect liver enzymes and cardiac function.
