    Hey - I wouldn't worry!

    My blood pressure for most of my pregnancy was 95/70 ish, and no-one was ever concerned.

    I think it would only matter if it is much different to what your BP is normally.

    Helen, thats a great BP!!! I am an ED nurse and would be totally happy if i took BP and that is what the reading was. BP's can vary for any person depending on a number of factors, including weight, genetics. level of fitness etc etc. The only thing i would worry about is that you are feeling dizzy and light headed. I wouldnt say at all that you had a low BP.
    You can have a quick drop in BP when you go from lying down/sitting to standing very quick which can cause light headeness/dizziness. That is called postural BP. Also i have found especially when you are lying down for quite a while on your back (not good for bubba), then thats when i get dizzy. Even when lying down. Just makes sure that you are drinking lots of fluids- at least 2L of water a day, stick to a good diet and exercise when you can.
    As Allipralli said, this BP reading might be normal for you. Dont worry too much, its much worse if you had a high BP.
    Good luck
