[Tigger13]

Hi

Thanks for reading this.

I am 16+ weels pregnant with no 3, previous pregnancies fine, although I think blood pressure dropped a bit at end with DS2 but never picked up on regular mid-wife just one on the delivery suite.

I saw midwife this week and explained that still v tired and sick and unlike previosu pg's, she said iron levels are fine and just one of those things with having 2 other little ones, my BP was 100/50, is that low?? I have been getting a bit short of breath but to be fair have been feeling so rubbish very little exercise done apart from chasing 2 boys! today I have had yet another day feeling rubbish and just wondering if this could be to do with low pressure as get sickness and yuk feeling gets worse when tired.

Any ideas? or am I just pg and getting old

Thanks for reading

I would say it was low, but I think it depends on what your blood pressure usually is. Can try drinking lots of fluids to help blood pressure up a bit. When I was puking badly in 1st pg, mine was 95/55 (normally 120/80), but I was still standing and did not faint. Be careful with yourself. I feel terrible throughout the entire pg (am now pg again, feel shocking!).

its on the low side(bottom figure is a bit low), but not dangerous, my usual bp is 90/50, you can feel a bit faint and light headed from time to time, especially if you stand up too quickly..
