Blood Pressure During Pregnancy??
Posted: 08-26-06 21:26pm
Hey ladies!! When I ususually go for my prenatal visits my bpressure is always around 130 over 80 sumn. Well all this weekend I have had a terrible headache and dizziness. I checked my bpressure 4 times, thinkning it may be high and it says 86 over 57 (plus and minus a little). Isnt that low for a pregnant woman??

I called the on call ob/gyn and they said just keep hydrated. Im not understanding that because im always drinking water.

Has anyone else had their bpressure this low?

Yeah thats low considering your average is much higher.

Make sure you dont over work yourself and the .D.R is right, drink lots of fluids, preferably water. Also try drinking gatorade since it has the sodium and electrolites that will make u feel better.

Hi that is low but mine has been about the same and they said just to eat more as sometimes if you haven't eaten for a while it can cause that. Mention it at you next appointment but if it isn't like that when they check they won't do anything.
