Low Blood Pressure

Today I went to the doctor and my blood pressure was 112/46 and I'm starting to feel weird. And a lil faint. What should I do? I'm eating normally.

My bp has been 90/60 throughout pregnancy. A couple times I got light headed and sitting and eating/drinking helped. Do you notice a pattern when you get light headed? Remember to get up slowly from lying down becauseyour center of gravity has shifted. If you continue to feel faint, I would go get checked out just to be sure. Hope you feel better, momma.

Drink water! My doctor said it would help if blood pressure gets on the low side

Eat more salty food and vitamin D, it will help with dizziness. I tend to low blood pressure

Mine got down to 88/50 at one point. The doctors say as long as it's not "high" it's no big deal! It's usually low at about 109/74.

No he didn't say much he checked my chest and breathing. And kept looking at my blood pressure.  I guess he didn't want to say anything? ? I even went to my appt with a full stomach we just got done eating. So I would thing it would be higher not lower?

Did the doctor tell you what to do if this happens?  If you start feeling to faint you should probably go to the hospital.
