post partum low blood pressure and dizziness
Hii mommies, I'm 6 weeks postpartum, had high BP 180/100 5 days postpartum. Dr did all the blood works, no postpartum preclampsia. Was given a dose of labetolol at the emergency. Discharged with no medications. BP settled after 1 week. My BP was 100/110 over 70/85 throughout my whole pregnancy. Now im feeling persistently dizzy and having low BP 85/60. Getting blurred vision, tingly tongue and hands and shortness of breath intermittently. Seen my gynae yesterday. BP was normal there 100/70. Dr did some blood works too, came back normal. I'm partially breastfeeding, pumping 3 hourly, sometimes I skip night pumps, output about 60-100mls each pump, still on prenatal vitamins and iron tablets. Unsure if it is related, this is an IVF pregnancy and I was in preterm labour from 32 weeks- delivered at 36 weeks (induced). Just very afraid that I might drop my daughter when carrying her. Anyone encountered this?#pregnancy #firsttimemom #Needadvice #lowbloodpressure #dizziness #lightheaded

high blood pressure post partum
hi mommies, today is post partum 7th day. Went to emergency on post partum 6th day due to high BP and low heart rate. Did a lot of blood test, all came back within range, cleared from PP pre eclampsia. During pregnancy, my BP was around 90-110/70-80. Now it's around 120-160/80-100 with on and off dizziness and headache. Highest was 187/110 at the emergency department. Taken a dose of labetolol and was discharged as BP normalised. Was not discharged with any medications. Anyone has similar encounter? #Needadvice #firsttimemom #pregnancy #highbloodpressure
