BP

[keli]

Been to MW today and my BP is 100/50 which she says is low but ok.. last time was 100/60. Was just wondering how low is too low and what is the perfect BP?

Hi

Ssshhh I'm not supposed to be here for a few more days but been kinda lurking to get a feel for my new hide out

The lowest i've been is 90/50 and was told not to worry about that. My BP checks so far have been 90/50 120/55 100/60 and 129/60.

Personally I don't know what is too low or too high but if MW has told you not to worry then I wouldnt worry. If they were alarmed about it then they would have you in daily to keep a check on it. I've been told they don't generally worry about low blood pressure as if anything this is a goodish thing, it's when it goes high they worry because of pre-eclampsia.

This link is really good for explaining blood pressure (apart from the death bit)

Mines quite low too 90/60 and seems to be getting lower Hopefully it'll stick where it is now though. Mine used to get low before I was PG though, I fainted a couple of times because of it.

I fainted a few times in tri2 due to low blood pressure, 90/50 is low but not dangerous, being dehydrated or too hot will make it drop a bit lower so try and drink enough water.

Watch when getting out of the bath - thats when i always feel dizzy
