If transient hypotension occurs during pregnancy, it usually does not affect the fetus. If it is severe hypotension, it is considered to affect the growth and development of the fetus, and may even lead to preterm delivery or stillbirth.
Hypotension refers to blood pressure below normal level, i.e. below 90/60mmHg, which can be physiologic or pathologic. If it is a transient hypotension caused by over exertion, or body position or constitution, it usually has no obvious effect on the fetus and does not need to be too nervous.
If the hypotension of pregnant women lasts for a long time or has repeated episodes, it may be caused by diseases. Severe hypotension can also lead to fainting, cardiac arrhythmia and insufficient perfusion of the placenta, thus affecting the growth and development of the fetus, and in serious cases, it can even lead to preterm labor, stillbirth and other conditions.
During pregnancy, women with low blood pressure need to identify the cause of the disease and deal with it in time to avoid affecting the health of the fetus.
