Low blood pressure

Hi everyone, I’m 29 weeks tomorrow and the past few weeks have been feeling quite faint and weak and breathless. I went for my 28 week check up today and got told it’s due to low blood pressure. I got told I had low blood pressure all throughout my pregnancy so I know it’s not affecting baby, but I just want to know if there’s any ways I can make it a bit higher to stop myself from feeling faint?? Thanks 😊

    Thanks Rachel158 I had some
     bloods taken today so I guess I’ll wait for those results too. As long as baby’s fine I don’t mind feeling a bit faint sometimes. Xx
