I took my blood pressure at 8:13 this morning and it was 92/52
Took it again at 9:47 and it is 94/64

Everyone is kind of freaking out and telling me to go to the hospital...do not pass go, do not collect $200 (ha ha ha)...called the OB and since I have an appt with them in less than an hour, they said to just come in as normal.

So I am light-headed, see sparkly spots on occassion, but the baby is moving around a bit.

Any thoughts...someone put me at ease????

Hugs,
Jessica

I have very low blood pressure also. Had it with both my last pregnancies. I would say drink lots more and sit when you need to. I also eat every hour and keep a few chocolates around when I feel light headed.

When I got to the docs, I was still dragging but my BP was up in the normal range. So they weren't concerned....oh well, guess I'll just keep an eye on it.

I do definitely intend to drink more...I hate to say, but not having use of a kitchen really inhibits access to water  :-(
Hopefully our $6000 plumbing issue will be repaired this week.

Thanks for the help!
Hugs,

Since my RNY my BP is always around there and all the doctors seem to be fine with it, I have been so low as 85/47 and they have had no issues, but I would suggest taking it easy and to drink lots of water.

Interesting....mine has never been this low other than one time when I was having a hard time coming out of anesthesia from an ovarian cyst removal.

I appreciate the suggestion of more water....I will definitely be doing that.
As I mentioned in the last response to PP, we have a HUGE plumbing issue at home that has kept us out of our kitchen and laundry for over 2 weeks now  :-(
Hopefully that will be fixed this week  :-)


Thanks again!!
