LOW BLOOD PRESSURE

[Kelz83]

I had to call out paramedics this morning cos i felt faint n nearly passed out they told me my blood pressure was low @ 50/90..is it anything to worry bout? im 29 weeks pregnant..

I had low bp in pg and gave up work earlier than intended because of the effect you describe, but dr said it wasn't dangerous, unlike high bp which usually has no symptons until something awful happens. So count yourself lucky!

I think my lowest BP measurement was 60/90 and was considered fine (but then again I didn't feel faint or weird in any way)

It is normal/expected that your BP is lower when pregnant.

hi I have low bp - don;t think it is dangerous for your baby - just makes you feel faint/dizzy more often. Was good in a way for me as my bp went up at the end of my last pg but it still wasn't considered dangerous as it was so low to begin with.

Just make sure you sit/lie down as soon as you start feeling faint

Hi I also have Low BP and have been told to not get too hot , eat more salt and drink lots of fluids!and rest if i feel dizzy.

Just make sure when u feel faint lie down with your feet above your heart or head between your legs, its scary and feeling anxious sometimes will make it worse so try and relax.
