    Actually, there was something that the MW said that confuzzled me.
    She has always said my BP was 'perfect' or 'it always runs low, which is good' but today she said 'your BP always runs low, which is usually good but we need to keep an eye on you to make sure you don't get dizzy or pass out'

    Readings for the last couple of months (starting today and working backwards) are:

    28 Jan: 90/50
    14 Jan: 100/70
    31 Dec: 110/70
    10 Dec: 110/78
    1 Dec: 110/75
    12 Nov: 110/68

    Now, clearly I can see some progressive changes but I haven't got a clue what any of it means...anybody a bit brighter than me??

    Not asking for medical advice in any way - I've had that this morning :D just hate not understanding :rotfl:

    Hi MFD,

    you're just in the low blood pressure range offically on today's reading, which is probably why she's slightly changed her message. The threshold for low blood pressure is 90/60, so this is the first time you've dipped below. There's no harm to you or the baby except if you are fainting or dizzy or in shock.

    Take care of yourself today! A cuppa might help, as a little caffeine will slightly raise your BP back up to it's normal range for you.

    Sorry if that was answering a completely different question to the one you asked!

    I would think its because the difference between ur 1st and last readings is too big for her liking?

    My BP has been
    16/10 - 90/60
    25/11 - 80/56
    9/1 - 85/50

    I really don't like it being this low so early but I've actually been less dizzy this time than last and my BP was higher (100/60 - 90/60) time so it makes no sense!
