What can cause low blood pressure in pregnancy?

Question

Im in my second trimester and lately my bp keeps showing low whenever i check. I eat normally and drink water also. What all things can cause this during pregnancy?

Tanushree Kamath · Answer

Hormonal changes and blood expansion can cause it. Since I had thyroid issues too, I made sure to get regular follow-ups with my doctor to keep track of everything.

Dehydration or standing too long can trigger it. Make sure you are eating regular balanced meals, but always consult your gynac if you feel faint.

Many moms face this because blood vessels dilate in the first 24 weeks. Drink plenty of water and don't skip meals.

Yes, it is very common as your circulatory system expands. Just stay hydrated.

I kept thinking something was wrong when my BP dropped. It's usually just hormones, but please call your doctor if you feel very dizzy or see spots.

Sometimes just not drinking enough water causes it! Keep sipping nimbu paani or coconut water, and enjoy your salty cravings, they actually help.
