They worry about low blood pressure because it can be a sign of an internal bleed. But if it wasn't a dramatic drop more like a gradual drop from your previous readings, you have no other signs or symptoms, you might just be dehydrated and not eating regularly enough. Be very careful when you stand up and try to stay out of the sun as your probably a faint risk that low. Take care of yourself!

Oh wow. Yeah the top is pretty low. Usually it can drop about 15 each. Did they say anything on what you can do? Do you have any heart problems?

I have low blood pressure to. The doctor didn't seem worried. They told me to eat protein foods and salty foods! My sister had had low pressure with all her babies and they are all healthy! Good luck!

How low was it? It's normal for pregnant womens to drop throughout the day as long as it's not dangerous numbers.
