Seeing stars?

Question

Anyone else seeing stars or sparkles in their vision? It happened to me twice this week....once when I went in for 6:30 bloodwork and second this evening when I was cleaning the house and probably pushed myself a little too far. Of course the only thing I find online is that it’s a symptom of pre-eclampsia so naturally I’m freaking out. Only 19w5d.....

Answer

Drink water and make sure your blood sugar isn’t low. My doc told me to eat some honey to help.

Answer

I get them with migraines. I also had preeclampsia my first pregnancy and the vision changes started happening about a week before my 38 week appt. at that appt my BP spiked and I had protein in my urine. My BP was fine up until then.
My doc told me that sometimes when you over exert yourself your BP can drop and that can cause it as well. I had been experiencing it in the first trimester and doc said it was too early for preeclampsia. I had also noticed it happened after I was up cleaning and not taking breaks or drinking enough water. So now I make sure to take a few breaks, eat & drink water when I’m cleaning or doing something else physical.

Answer

It’s normal to have changes in your vision while you’re pregnant. There are times I get blurry spots in one of my eyes but it goes away within a few seconds

Answer

I would check your blood pressure. I have high blood pressure and had pre eclampsia with my daughter and my biggest sign that something was off was that I was seeing spots. It might just be normal hormonal stuff tho but it never hurts to check. My doctor has me call them if I start to see spots again so maybe call them and get another opinion?

Answer

Same!! I feel completely fine and would see them pop out of nowhere. Left eye only. Just a few seconds and then they disappear.

Answer

I get those constantly, it can be ocular migraines

Answer

Also my blood pressure is fine...116/80
