Any ideas what this could be?

Ok so my blood pressure is quite low. He is pretty concerned but not sure if giving me some tablets to rise it is the way to go incase it gets to high etc. So for the next week till I see him again I have strict instructions for bed rest and nothing else. Def no driving the car. Bed rest with 3 kids and a DP who works at least 12hr days... Can't see to much rest happening

Hey Zee, do you know what your BP was?

[Zee]

No sorry I don't... I didn't even think to ask and he hasn't gave me my yellow card yet. He took it a few times and it was low everytime but lower when he had me standing, why he wants me on bedrest. Said it was normal to get low BP while pregnant just not my low.

[nickle730]

A postural drop (when your blood pressure drops when you stand up) is quite common. Do you know if your BP is low when you are not pg? Be careful getting out of bed in the morning, sit on the edge for a minute first to allow you BP to adjust! And lots and lots of water to drink. Hope you feel better soon, good luck with the bed rest! Couch rest maybe??

Couch rest is heaps better. Have movie days!! I love movie days!!
And you have kids!!! You'd probably have awesome movies! I love kid movies.

I have young brothers so I quite often borrow the latest Pixar/Disney movies off them.

Nickel- my bp is normal when I'm not pg.
I haven't been fully resting (really who can with 3 kids?) but I haven't been doing as much as I usually do and been couching it alot (wish DS would watch something other then cars lOl) and I haven't had a "episode". So I'm pretty happy with that.
