8w 1d

I'm 8w1d today and a couple days ago I had an episode where I started seeing white spots and my peripheral vision was gone. It lasted about 30-45 minutes and then I was fine. After my vision went back to normal I had a headache and felt nauseous. Fast forward to today I had another one of those episodes. Same thing happened and lasted about 20-30 minutes. I've looked at the times that it happens and the first time it happened was right after I ate a big meal and that was the first time i had eaten that day. Today when it happened I had drank a dr pepper right before but hadn't ate anything about 4 hours before that. I checked my blood pressure during one of the episodes and it was normal. Could it be my blood sugar acting up or just general pregnancy symptoms? I didn't notice this when I was pregnant with my other two.

I had this as well during my first trimester - I assumed it was a migraine with aura. I suffer from migraines in general but never lost my vision from it but due to the intense headache and nausea with it, I just thought it was that

Yeah obviously I don’t know for sure but it was scary the first time it happened as I never had the vision loss with it, but it made sense to me too. Hopefully that’s just it.. they’re not dangerous just annoying. I would follow up with the doctor just to be safe though too

I've never heard of this but just looked it up and that sounds exactly like what is happening.

Hmm.. sounds blood pressure related (I know you said you checked & it was normal) so I’m not sure what else it would/could be, but definitely not a normal pregnancy symptom. I would consult your dr!
