Comparing Nifedipine and Enalapril in Medical Resources Used in the Postpartum Period

Summary

This study evaluates whether nifedipine or enalapril is better at decreasing the amount of medical resources used in the postpartum period by women who have high blood pressure in pregnancy and the postpartum period. Half of participants will receive enalapril while the other half will receive enalapril. We will compare the two groups in the amount of medical resources used which we are defining as prolonged hospitalizations, unscheduled medical visits and/or hospital readmissions in the postpartum period.
