I am 22 weeks pregnant and have noticed my face swelling already. My mother jsut noticed it but my blood pressure is 110 over 63. I know my blood pressure not pregnant is usually 90 over 50-60. Is this still healthy and normal blood pressure. Should I be concerned?
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Swelling of the face, hands and legs during pregnancy is normal from water retention during pregnancy, and preeclampsia is extremely rare before term. Regardless of what your baseline blood pressure is, we do not really become concerned unless your systolic pressure is at least 130 and the diastolic is at least 95. So you have a completely healthy blood pressure at this time. Decreasing salt intake and Chat Doctor. I hope I was able to answer your question today and that this advice was helpful. Best wishes for the rest of the pregnancy,
