low blood pressure??

hi friends! anyone else experiencing low blood pressure?? i had preeclampsia with my first pregnancy but today i kept feeling like i was gonna pass out when i stood for too long. long story short i went to my OB and she said what i was experiencing was the opposite of preeclampsia and am having low blood pressure causing me to feel like i may pass out. she said it could be on and off for a few weeks (which i hope not because i need to prep for this baby and i can’t when i feel like passing out 😆). just wondering if anyone else has had this before and how long it lasted for you if u did.

I’ve had low BP this entire pregnancy! Not sure if it’s from the baby asprin(since I had high BP with my first) or what. Definitely a weird feeling having low BP for once too!

@Natalie yes! i’m on the baby aspirin too from my first pregnancy history so i’m glad someone else is having the same experience (not actually glad because feeling like ur gonna pass out sucks lol) but i think it’s better to have low blood pressure than high 🤷🏻‍♀️ definitely a weird feeling though

I have always had very low blood pressure all my life even before pregnancy (80s/60s) ; I have also passed out a lot at all stages of life - I understand that weird feeling very well. In my pregnancy now, FTM, no history of high bp, AMA, they asked me to take baby aspirin just because of AMA.. and I’m glad I didn’t because I still have episodes of feeling light headed and seeing the stars and passing out … Currently, every time I check ; my BP is 100s/70s. Which my doc said is normal as there is increased blood volume in the body

@Honey i cannot imagine having something like this my entire life. what do u do when u have to drive and feel like passing out?? like that is so scary to me. today was better for me but yesterday it lasted HOURS on and off. for u it must be nice to have normal blood pressure now though while pregnant 😆 hopefully it sticks 🤞
