Low blood pressure?

nverum · August 2014

Seems like a lot of moms have higher blood pressure due to being pregnant. I've had really low blood pressure my entire pregnancy though. Has anyone else experienced this?

Mine stays very low. It is not a concern to doctors most times where high bp is

Mine is extremely low and pregnancy actually makes it lower. I think at my last appointment, I was sitting around 85/60 - and that was a little up for me. My non-pregnant blood pressure is usually around this as well. My doctor isn't worried, and I am not really either.

I have low blood pressure. I set off the alarms in the hospital every 15 minutes when I was in labor with DS. Nobody was too concerned.

HBP and LBP are on completely different ends of the spectrum when it comes to pregnancy (and in general).

Yes- I have a history of low blood pressure and low blood sugar (my glucose was 68 after drinking the sugar drink and my bp was 80/50 at my last appointment). I have to remember to eat more frequently and sometimes get light headed from the lower bp, but otherwise, it has not been a concern. I remember that my bp was higher closer to the end of my first pregnancy so be prepared that yours will creep up a little.

If you are not experiencing any symptoms like dizziness or dyspnea, then there is nothing to worry about. In the other hand, high blood pressure is worrying even without any symptoms.

It's not a concern of my doctors. I run super low. I was around 60/30 one time, next 70/43. Then I went to hospital because I didn't have any dizziness but just face planted... Now I am instructed to eat every 2 hrs. If she's not worried in not

Mine during pregnancy is typically 95/50. Sometimes it makes me light headed, but the docs seem to think it's just fine.

Yup. Mine has always been low as well. Mine was 100 over 64 at my appointment today. My midwife has never said it was an issue.

Mine has been running lower than normal, and it's dropped a couple of times to the point where I got really clammy and started to pass out. It makes me really sleepy, too. The only good advice I've gotten is to wear compression stockings and make sure I eat regularly, which I already do.
