Hi everyone,

well first of all I am now 8 weeks pregnant and very happy about it but feel this is going to be terrible for my health anxiety and panics!
I am already worrying over every little thing...today the Midwife has been round and taken my blood pressure and it was 90 over 60!! This is very low for me and only 2 weeks ago at my first appointment it was 118 over 84....a considerable difference I think! Just to add I have been being sick for the last week - every day and did'nt know if this would effect it? And I have this constant headache.
So can anyone enlighten me as to whether this is cause for concern...I think I have already made my mind up at that it is and I am threating over it already....but any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hiya

Congratulations on your pregnancy!
I am 35 weeks pregnant
Please try not to worry over your BP
Its very normal for your BP to drop in early pregnancy,in fact mine did the very same and i felt dizzy etc.Its not harmful at all at your stage and is certainly better than being high
If you look on the pregnancy websites you will be its very common
