A member asked:
I'm 22 wks pregnant, been having hypotensive fainting spells (70/44 yesterday, 69/37 today). i was told by my md to eat something salty and push fluids. but i still feel faint. is it bad for my baby?

Be careful: It may be that you have a lower blood pressure, but this should not put your baby at risk. An accident, such as falling, would be bad. Try the fluids and be careful!
