My wife is 17wks pregnant which is great! But it also brings along quite a few different things that makes it hard to work out what is going on in her body. Over the weekend, she was feeling a little light headed, exhausted, etc. Pregnant I guess. We checked her blood pressure and it was quite low; 96/57, 105/60, 111/76 in three seperate readings over three days. She called her doctor this morning who then asked the maternity nurses. Apart from being exhausted and this being quite normal, they gave her a unique solution which I have never heard of:
If you lie on your left side, your blood pressure will go up!
Now that is something I have never heard of. But apparently it goes for anyone who is feeling a little light headed, not just pregnant people. You learn something new every day!
