Measure
Nifedipine 30MG
Oral administration of 30mg Nifedipine XL q24 hours until delivery Nifedipine 30 MG: Nifedipine XL is a long-acting medication used to lower blood pressure. The investigators want to learn whether women who receive the study drug will experience fewer severe-range blood pressure readings, and therefore need fewer intravenous (IV) medications to safely lower blood pressure.
Placebo
Matching placebo group q24hrs until delivery Placebos: At the time of enrollment, patients will be randomized to either the study drug (oral Nifedipine XL 30mg) or identical placebo.
