Blood pressure
Hi
I suffered with Low blood pressure up to about 16 weeks of my pregnancy and other than bad headaches it didnt really affect me that much & sort of evened itself out. I am now 26 weeks & since yesterday have been feeling really faint & dizzy as if it is my BP again & am not sure what to do. I feel fine unless i move too quick etc. I was just wondering if anyone else had suffered with anything similar. i dont really want to contact my midwife or nurse as i cant see them doing anything apeart from checking it & telling me its better being low than high, but wonder if i shouldnt just leave it. Just not sure what to do really
Any advise ?

I am 13 weeks and my bp as been low for a few weeks. When i saw gp and midwife their only advice was to slow down and not rush aroun. Also they told me to sleep on my left side and not on my back. They also reassured me that it was just one of those things, and was no where near as dangerouse as high blood pressure.
Dont know if this helps.

my blood pressure was really high wen i found out I was pregnant and then it plummeted and went really low. The midwife told me that it is better to have low bp than high tho. I know this is not much conselation as we all want normal bp but u wud have heaps and heaps of problems if ur bp was high during the later stages of preg. Wiv my last baby from bout 25wks onwards I had to go to hospital everyweek to av bp checked coz it was through the roof. Sorry if not much help but u really shud go see u gp or mw incase there is a specific reason for u bp been that low. Gud luck keep us informed, Kerry xxx
