PG BP: Pregnancy blood pressures especially in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters tend to be what your is now due to a lowering of peripheral blood vessels resistance and an increase of blood volume of 4 extra units of blood and plasma. (2000 cc's). Blood pressures at 90/50 are normal. If you feel faint or dizzy when standing up immediately notify your prenatal OB MD for evaluation.
