Blood pressure during first trimester

My BP is usually very low 80-something over 60 ish. I’m currently 7+4w and did a couple of measurements yesterday out of interest. It came out as 104/70. Whilst this is still low and well within the normal limits, it’s high for me. Should I worry? I feel a bit daft calling my dr about it (and asking here!) and my Midwife appt isn’t due until I’m 10+2.

I also have low bloody pressure usually quite similar to yours and mine is up this pregnancy. Its was 123 over 73 yday at 39 weeks. Ive mentioned it a couple of times to midwifes and at 20 weeks scan and was told it was normal.

I have had low blood pressure all through my pregnancy (like constantly dizzy low). I asked the midwife what would happen if it suddenly shot up to normal (which would be a considerable jump) and she said nothing. They stick to the normal thresholds regardless of your baseline. I was quite surprised. If i had other symptoms then I would push for more monitoring but otherwise I'd let it play out.
