Low blood pressure

Hi,

Have any of you been told you're blood pressure is a bit low?  Normally I am textbook, but I have postural hypertension so it has been known to drop if I change positions too fast.  I've just never had it low when I was just sitting having it taken...

Mine still around 100/60 so far, but I also drink a lot of water and have a fairly high sodium diet to begin with due to having the issue before pregnancy.  Most of what I've heard always revolved around high blood pressure. Thanks--it's nice to know I'm not the only one.

I've been told that during pregnancy your blood pressure is normally lower than usual. Mine was 109/60 and the Dr said it was perfect for pregnancy.

Yes I've had it low this whole pregnancy. When i start to feel dizzy or lightheaded I drink lots of water, eat a snack with sodium and if you lay on your left side that helps. Also try not to get to to fast or move to fast.
