Everyone always rants on to you in preg about high blood pressure but mine is the exact opposite! I'm now 32 weeks and throughout my whole pregnancy has had low blood pressure! Anyone else have this? None of the midwives seem overly concerned!!!! Is it a problem??

Mine has been 90/48 since my 8 wk appt (I'm now 22 weeks). I normally have low BP anyway and MW said that unless I'm fainting, it's really not an issue. My dad (retired GP) basically said, great, long may it continue as it's a sign of fitness. So wouldn't worry about it:-)

I blacked out in ghe shower today. Only 7 weeks. Should I worry?

87/48@ 24 wks. Has been coming down gradually throughout pregnancy. No real symptoms- MW not bothered, just told me to drink more water. Also making sure I don't have any baths/showers without someone else in the house just in case I had a problem. Read somewhere it gets to its lowest at about 24 wks so fingers crossed mine will start going up a bit.

sleepy I would get checked out, sometimes low bp can be as bad as high bp especially if you're blacking out.

Mine is low 5 weeks, was on last pregnancy too. Drink plenty of water is what my GP recommended.
