Just keep yourself hydrated and stay positive, God will protect you both. Take things slowly and don't rush out of bed.

My pregnancy tracker app says low BP is common in early pregnancy as blood vessels expand. But track your readings and let your doctor know if you feel very dizzy.

Honestly, low BP made me sleep like a log, which is funny because now with a newborn, I don't get sleep at all! Just drink your coconut water.

I panicked like crazy when my BP dropped to 90/60 in my 2nd trimester. My gynac reassured me it's totally normal, just stay hydrated.

I delivered last month and had low BP in my second trimester. Eating small meals and drinking buttermilk really helped stabilize it.

It is so scary to feel dizzy and weak when BP drops, I totally understand your anxiety. Just try to lie down immediately when it happens so you don't fall.

If your BP is low, you might feel dizzy during workouts. I only did light walking and very gentle yoga, that too after my doctor checked my vitals.

I had low BP throughout my pregnancy, my baby is a healthy toddler now. It just makes you feel a bit tired, so sleep whenever you can.

Low BP makes you feel very weak. My mother in law used to give me salty nimbu paani and made sure I took proper rest.

Oh don't stress too much babe, low BP is very common as your body is making blood for two. Just don't stand up too quickly!
