A member asked:
Should i be concerned if my blood pressure drops in pregnancy?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: We divide pregnancy into three "trimesters". The first trimester goes up to thirteen weeks, the second trimester is 14-26 weeks. During this second trimester the blood pressure will normally drop a little. You may be extra sensitive to this change and feel light-headed, tired or dizzy, drinking extra fluids, extra rest, and wearing support hose may all help. Make sure you are not anemic.

Not necessarily: If it remains in the normal range & you are not having symptoms this sounds ok but please talk to your ob.
