Have you been able to check your BP?
my vision has gotten slightly worse but i’ve been told that it can happen, if it gets really bad then i think it’s best to check with a doctor
@Alexa I have rung the day unit and they said to go in so I’m waiting to get a lift up there
@Elle no not checked it but now I’m getting pins and needles in my left foot going up to my leg
Labor and delivery nurse here. Go to the hospital now to get a PIH (pregnancy induced hypertension) workup. They will get a urine sample, run some blood tests, and continuously check your BP), those are classic symptoms of preeclampsia. It's EXTREMELY serious and are life threatening for you and your baby.
Got them in my left arm now
@Akilah it started off with blurred vision then a headache , now my left leg an arm are all numb feeling like pins and needles
Ohhhhh God. Yes, please get some help. Those are severe features of preeclampsia. Depending on how the results are of your tests , your doctor may recommend delivery ASAP for you and your baby's safety.
Vision gets worse during pregnancy and is a normal thing to experience, however it’s also a clue something else is going on so like the others I second the recommendation to get checked out .
@Elle my blood pressure has always been good and perfect at every appointment what else could it mean
@Ashley my blood prsssure has been normal at all my appointments too so I’m confused as to what’s going on
I’m confused too now 😳
@Ashley I’m waiting for a lift in now so I’ll let you know what they say in the day unit , I’m hoping it’s nothing too serious at all
@Pyper thank you ☺️

Sometimes it’s doesn’t happen until the very last few weeks. Try not panic even though I’m sure that hard right now. Once you’re able to get checked then you can go from there but like the nurse said… those are signs of preeclampsia
I would go to after hours or l&d
@Morgan went in and they said everything is okay, I had a ctg done , they took my blood pressure a few times while I was there to keep an eye out on it and said me and baby are both okay to go home so not sure what happened if I’m honest x
@Pyper glad everything looks okay, better to be safe! I had a scare last week too
@Pyper-jai did your blurred vision rectify? X
I’ve been having this as well … not sure why
