Blood Pressure

[girl_cop]

Has anyone had a problem with LOW blood pressure while pregnant? (I know that the more common problem is having high blood pressure).
I had a Dr. visit yesterday and my blood pressure was 105/50. After taking it my Dr. asked if I was dizzy... I wasn't really, but now I'm paranoid every time I feel a bit light headed! Dr. said that it's still within the normal range, but it made me worry :oops:

My blood pressure has always ranged from 90/50--100/70 even when pregnant. I think you're fine.

Mine's always on the low side even while prego. My normal is right around 90/60. I wouldn't worry about it.

My normal is right around 90/60. Are you cold a lot and do you find you need plenty of sleep?

[homeschoolmom]

I do tend to be on the chilly side, and I'm always tired but that's probably because I'm on the run after the kids all day long. :lol: Why?

My bp is usually about 110/60, and last preggo check-up it was 95/60. My ob wasn't worried about it. :)

Why? I'm cold a lot of the time when other people aren't. I keep a sweater in the van in the summer because I freeze in restaurants and at the movies.

Yep. I always have a jacket in the car too! I also roast everyone out in my house during the summer and in the winter. I should have stock in polar fleece because I'm bundled up all winter long in polar fleece shirts and jackts. I hate being cold!

Mine is almost always 100/60 or 100/70 and it's usually about the same when I am not pregnant. I don't think that's considered low - it's normal. Any time I feel light-headed it's usually because I need to eat and have gotten sidetracked doing something else :)

My blood pressure has always been low. I'm also a little low on iron. When I was pregnant I was sooooo tired all the time.

I wouldn't worry about it either.

Thanks ladies! I feel reassured now :) I really have to stop worrying, and I should be banned from reading pregnancy stuff on the internet from now on..haha
