Low Blood Pressure?

Question

Hi Fellow Mummies!
Is anyone noticing that their BP is measuring lower than usual? My BP is in the 90/55 range which is low, but everything I’m reading says it seems to be normal, and my OB hasn’t made any comment on it. 
I’m 26 weeks, due 3/6/19.
Just wondering!

Answer

High blood pressure in pregnancy is much more a cause of concern. Low BP is quite normal. :)

Answer

My blood pressure reads perfectly normal (usually about 115/60) but I can physically FEEL when it drops. It’s normal in this trimester. Sit down and drink lots of water and get lots of sleep!

Answer

Mine was low in first trimester but normal now. Low bp is normal in pregnancy for multiple reasons, your blood vessels dilate before your blood volume increases also your baby creates internal pressure that can press on the major vessels and cause pressure to drop, anddd it’s very easy to become dehydrated which would also reduce your blood volume and therefore blood pressure. The only thing you can do anything about is hydration status so keep your fluids up and low bp is not a concern unless you’re also feeling dizzy or otherwise unwell.

Answer

It’s totally normal in pregnancy

Answer

Normal in second trimester! It should level out soon.

Answer

Low BP is normal during pregnancy. My doctor also said to have more salt and stay hydrated.

Answer

That’s my normal BP when not pregnant and funny you post this that was my exact BP this morning currently 25wks 5days. I haven’t been told anything about low BP just make sure you eat every few hours, drink lots of fluid, and rest when you feel light headed.

Answer

Yessss! Mine was 104/60 today. I have low BP already and have since I was a teenager. My dr just tells me to up my salt intake and to drink more water. If it gets really low I have heart eurythmia and have to lay down, but usually I can keep it up

Answer

You guys are seriously awesome, thank you! I appreciate all the tips and advice a lot! This is my first pregnancy so I’m a bit new to all of this! 🖤
