Alright I know that high blood pressure during pregnancy is bad, but what about low blood pressure??

At my last appointment my bp was 108/60, isn't that a little low?? It is consistently like that and the doctor hasn't said anything but I thought you ladies might have an idea if that is bad or not??

Thanks girls

I don't think that's low. I had to take my bp every day because of the drugs I was on. It varied from day to day. My top numbers ranged from 101 to 120 and my bottom number ranged from 50 to 72. Part of the number will depend if it's taken with a manual arm cuff or a machine. The machines are much more accurate.

Mine has been as low as 90/70 but is usually something close to what yours is. I typically run on the lower end of the normal scale as well. I wouldn't worry too much!

Mine is always low, and they never said anything about it during my pg. I think it's fine!

I think if that's normal for you then that's good. I always am on the low side of "normal" too. Plus if the doc's aren't saying anything then I definitely wouldn't worry.

That is a perfect blood pressure! (I'm a cardiac ICU nurse AKA queen of blood pressures!). Mine today was 102/54 and the OB said it was perfect. HTH!

Sounds great to me. My BP is usually on the low side as well, 100/60.

Good to hear, it was my DH that made me worry, telling me that it was way to low men what do they know??
