I got a BFP this morning on a predictor test, very faint positive line but there all the same - still there now too

but...

i have a dd aged 19 months, at christmas i had a MC and right now my health is poor, by BP is very low and I've been fainting daily, this was the same prior to getting PG so it's not that. Had an ECG last week was told my heart is fine but still no reason why my BP is so low, it sits about 100 over 40 with my pulse about 40 - 50 BPM. My normal BP is abbout 120 over 90 - never had issues with low BP before.

Ive been told by a friend and done some reading up that this deosnt bode well for my bean?

Any one got any experience of this?

Sorry I've got no experience of this, just wanted to wish you the best of luck - it can be really horrible just worrying, can't it?

My normal bp is usually around 80/50 and I'm 24 weeks, absolutely fine.. it's been dipping lower sometimes, but I can get it back up by eating carbohydrates or sugar. Drs/midwives don't see worried about it at all...

Sorry to hear that. I hope it all works out for you.

I had v.low BP throughout pregnancy and DD is now 14 weeks. I alsi had passing out in early weeks and was just told to lie down if I felt it coming, there's nothing you can do for low BP but it isn't really dangerous providing if you pass out you try and limit falling from height etc.

Hope it's all ok if that's what you're hoping for, sorry to hear about your break up, isn't fate lovely?

i think in a really crap way he's hoping i MC, he said as much today when i told him - i had to hand my baby over to him to spend the day with his new girl friend, who blatently doesnt know that he's been doing you know what with me - and now, the mother of all crap things, he's asked me to just wait, wait until he knows what he wants, if he wants her - or wants back into our life and family, what sohlud be such a happy time has gone so wrong.

I still love him, cant tell people im pregnant with his child if he choses to stay with her because then it'll hurt her apparently, doesnt care about me

Emily, let me join you for that imaginary glass of vino, I have a rubbish situation "Look at this page"

I hear my situation is very common, yet I'm still to hear from someone who speaks from actual experience. My advice is just enjoy your pregnancy and what will be will be with regards to him.

DazedEmma · 22/06/2008 22:25

I have low bp too, but they tell me this is very common, so I haven't asked any further questions and I've never had low bp before, just speak to your consultant tomorrow and express your concern.

seen my GP being referred to a cardiologist now, woke up with horrible period cramp feelings, no spotting or any thing, but told the doc and he said that i should prepare my self to start bleeding.

Oh love, life deals us a really shite hand every now and then doesnt it?

You may not start bleeding Gp's are not the fountain of all knowledge all the time. If you can try to completely relax. Sit down if you have nothing to do. The hoovering etc can wait.
Your DP sounds a bit confused.
