Oil Pressure

i just did my oil cahnge and i noticed that before i did the oil change the oil pressure was reading a little under 30 at idle on the stock gauge. i did the oil change and noticed the gague was bouncing between 30-60 and never reaches 60 while im driving.
the car feels fine but should i be worried?

stock oil pressure is 17 or 19 psi at idle IIRC.

Check to make sure you didn't hit the oil sending units wire. Clean it off also.. This happens alot after people change their oil.
