: Lowering your cholesterol is good but too low of cholesterol can have an effect on cancer, hemorrhagic stroke, depression, anxiety, preterm birth and low birth weight if your cholesterol is low while you're pregnant. HOWEVER, there is no consensus on what too low is and most likely it is levels below 40 for LDL, so your levels are fine.
