Final answer:

The antihypertensives contraindicated in pregnancy are Ramipril and Labetalol.

Step-by-step explanation:

The antihypertensives contraindicated in pregnancy are:

  • Ramipril - an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor
  • Labetalol - a beta blocker

ACE inhibitors like Ramipril can cause fetal renal failure, oligohydramnios, pulmonary hypoplasia, and limb contracture. Beta blockers like Labetalol can potentially lead to bradycardia or stoppage of the heart when overprescribed. Therefore, these medications should be avoided during pregnancy.
