Low blood pressure
posted 12th Feb
For the past couple of days I have been having light headed was and feeling as if I'm going to faint. Sometimes I get the shakes as well. I do tend to be hypoglycemic but I have always kepted that under control. I went to my appointment today and my blood pressure was 113/73. He wants me to monitor my blood pressure and have a snack beside me and lie down when this happens again. Other then that everything is testing out to be fine with me and baby. I'm thinking this is the reason why I have been really tired the past week.
So if any of you ladies had low blood pressure what was the outcome of it. I'm just concerned as I have never dealt with Anythjng like this in my pregnancies.

That's not low. That's a great pressure! But if you're feeling light-headed, make sure you're drinking plenty of water and changing positions slowly. My BP typically runs 95/60.

113/73 doesn't sound low to me. Personally, that would be quite high for me, mine throughout my pregnancy was about 105/60.
I think a lot of people, myself included, have dizzy spells like that when pregnant. Snacks and lying down worked for me to help them pass.
And the outcome of my low BP was a perfectly healthy baby

It's on the low side for me I'm usually 135/65. I know he didn't seem really concerned about it just wanted me to monitor it. At least I can put my mind at ease that really nothing major is wrong.

That doesnt seem to low. Mine is usually 120/63 or something like that and its considered to be in the "optimal range" in the things that the drugstores lol. My sister in law has super low bp.. usually around 90/60 or something like that.
