Brief Answer:
Normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Blood pressure is slightly low in pregnancy due to the effect of the progesterone hormone which is increased in pregnancy.
Blood pressure till 90/50 is completely normal in pregnancy.
There is nothing to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
