    This really isn't too unusual. Your entire body reacts to pregnancy. This can include deviation in blood pressure. Yours tends to be lower which is probably preferable to hypertension or high blood pressure. If your blood work and other tests came back good, you shouldn't worry. Your own doctor is in a better position to explain details to you since she or he knows your system well. Again, I see no reason for concern. I do wish you all the best.

    when pregnant the woman's body prioritizes the baby even at the expense of the mother's health and disables the immune system since the bay is in fact a parasite , it's not "normal" but not rare as long as you are getting regular check ups it should be OK you may need to eat more
