Low Blood Pressure... Anyone else...

MrsChamberlin · May 15th, 2009, 00:29 AM

When they took my blood pressure today it was kinda low. 102/60 when I am normally 120-130/70-80.

Anyone else had this problem?

Explains the dizzy spells... The doctor told me to increase my fuild intake and to move slowly... I am at a risk for fainting.

It is quite common in early pregnancy mine 102/58 at 8 weeks. I just had to remember to stand up slowly and wait before i started to walk off! Drink and eat plenty xxxx

Oh yeah!!!

Mine was 80/40 at 8 weeks, and 96/50 last week.

My midwife said low BP is nothing to worry about for us or for baby, just annoying!

My midwife said completely normal

Mine is on the low side and she said she would much rather see it like that than on the high side at this stage.

Just don't rush around too much

yep I have low blood pressure too, when the midwife had to take my bloods at my booking in appointment I almost fainted and she wasnt suprised at this after taking my BP. also, i get dizzy when i get out of bed etc. I think just take it easy and be a bit slower like she said.

I've made an assumption that low blood pressure is better than high blood pressure though?!

i have the same problem too. If i have a warm bath or shower it seems to raise blood pressure but feel even worse then and feel faint. mine was 90/60 last time. Midwife said not to worry just drink plenty.

i suffer with Low blood pressure when im pregnant, all i did was eat little and often help keep my blood sugar up, drink plenty of fluids, and when iwas getting up move slow, it use to pertify me at 1st especially if i was out,

mine was aroound 90/60 when i was pregnant

I too have low blood pressure, but I don't think it's due to pregnancy, it's always been low. I think pregnancy may have made it a bit worse as I do feel faint and my legs feel weak much more often than they used to. I just try to be sure I'm eating and drinking enough. I was going to ask my OB about it at next appt., but I feel better already after reading this thread that it won't affect the baby.
