Yes, blood pressure that low will make you feel faint and weak, and you need to tell your ob/gyn about it. Aren't you getting regular prenatal checkups?

Low blood pressure is always a cause for concern. Fainting while pregnant poses more risks to you both than before you were pregnant. At 20 weeks you should have had your ultrasound by now if not that'll be a good time to bring it up.

Pressures this low in pregnancy can be cause for concern if your pressure is typically much higher.

In actuality, pressures lower during pregnancy unless PIH is one of your pregnancy diagnoses.
