Low blood pressure in pregnancy

[Upwind]

Has anyone had this - my midwife told me mine was very low but nothing to worry about (at 14 weeks). She said it just meant I would feel faint, dizzy and weak a lot and there was nothing I could do about it.

If you had or have it, did it persist throughout pregnancy?

It is actually better to have low blood pressure as it gives it time to rise up in pregnancy, also high BP can cause pre eclampsia in pregnancy and amongst other things increases risk of heart attack, stroke and other serious risks. Def better to be low.

Sorry ladytophamhat...I can even beat that...2 weeks ago tey couldnt even register a BP on me!!!!

The doc saked me if I was sure I was alive?

After sevberal goes and use of several differnt machines they got a reading of 80/59.
