What Causes Low Blood Pressure And High Pulse Rate During Pregnancy?

I have an appointment with a cardiologist today but wanted to read up on what the problem could be. I have normally low blood pressure (100/60) and my pulse is normally between 60 and 70. I am in the 6th month of pregnancy and my blood pressure drops to 80/40 and my pulse shoots to 130-150 at times. It happens when I am not doing anything strenuous. Just walking around. Any ideas?

Have plenty of fluids in diet. Have small frequent feeds.
Just observe if you are hungry or do not eaten out for long time. Low sugars can also be a reason.
