low blood pressure

Has anyone else suddenly got low bp in the 3rd trimester? I've had fairly normal bp throughout at about 110/65 or 60 but it dropped to 90/60 at my mw appointment this week and I've been suffering a lot of light headedness and nausea.



just wondering if anyone else has had this and what can be done to improve it?

  • mine averages about 100/60 but has gone lower a few times - if you catch it early just put feet up and relax - if you are very dizzy disorientated then feet up in the air works well too - just make sure they are keeping an eye on it regularly x x
  • My BP is often around 90/60 and lower when I'm pregnant, my midwife often comments that she doesn't know how I'm still conscious!

    It's not harmful and they won't treat it so just make sure you're drinking loads of fluids and move around slowly, especially when you're getting up from lying down.



    It's much better than having high BP so don't worry.
