Anyone had blood pressure getting lower?

Hello everyone. Over the past few days my blood pressure has been getting lower and lower ( I check it at home)
I am 30 weeks and a couple of weeks ago I started Fragmin (blood thinner) daily injections as well as taking aspirin since 16 weeks. This is because I am over 40, over weight and my blood pressure is usually on the high side of normal (around the 130/75 mark).
So the fragmin injections are a preventative measure due to fitting into the various categories.
But Friday I started to feel really dizzy and shaky with some slightly blurry vision. I thought I had better check my bp as I was worried it would be high but it was 120/75 and since then it has been going steadily down and last night was 107/63 which although not classed as low is much lower than mine usually is.
Anyone else had similar? Not sure whether to bother midwife as it isn't technically low and I would really rather not go to hospital at the moment but also don't want to risk anything.
