First mw appointment

Saw my mw today and she took my BP which was 116/45. She says it is very low and they will keep an eye on it. I have also lost weight since I weighed myself a couple weeks ago which is also worrying me.
Again she said they will keep an eye on it.
I was hoping that she would examine my stomach but I suppose 10 weeks is too early to feel anything.
I am having a scan on Monday and see the consultant 24 Sept, but don't you sometimes feel that they won't see you enough to "keep an eye on everything" prob being stupid I know.
It's just that for the past 6 months I have been ill with one infection after another and worry what effect it may have had on my lo. $:\$ ?

hi mini, i also have low blood pressure but my mw always said that was fine she never worried about it and yours is higher than mine was back then. I know what you mean about not being seen enough because they really don't, my mw only saw me every month back then, i'm now 37 wks and i see her every fortnight now but if you ask me it's not enough! I hope everything turns out ok at the scan i'm sure it will be, let us know xxx
