Some of your symptoms kind of sound like preeclampsia… please have them check protein in your urine and your blood pressure 🩵
All sounds pretty typical. Are you regularly getting your electrolytes and a protein boost in? If I don't drink at least 1 LMNT per day I have headaches and leg cramps. If I don't supplement my protein, my blood pressure and sugar doesn't remain stable, which causes extreme fatigue. Also plain olive, Almond, or coconut oil massaged over your stretch marks, especially right out of the shower or bath can really help soothe the skin.. you don't need anything extra fancy, just what you have on hand is fine.
Body Armor doesn't have the sodium of LMNT.. only 30-40mg compared to 1000mg.. look up hyponatremia 🫂 also, sorry that I assumed where your itchy stretch marks are, it works the same on any part of your body.
They literally have unflavored.. that's the main reason I prefer LMNT is the unflavored option that I can mix with anything I want. There's also plenty of other options out there like Just Ingredients, etc. I was just saying things I have found that have helped these symptoms in me. I've been through a lot in 6 pregnancies and don't mind sharing. It's fine if you're not interested.
I've had floaters before pregnancy, and they have gotten worse recently but its due to all the extra blood we are carrying in our bodies, if you are getting blurred vision or flashes of light that would be more concerning.
I went and got a massage, and my face was in the pregnancy pillow. After the massage it took me 30 min to see out of one of my eyes again.. 👀
That sounds like preeclampsia. I’d get tested for that with your doctor. Also low iron gave me horrible headaches until I fixed my iron levels. But I also get the same vision problems and my OB said it was normal as long as it’s not accompanied by headaches. I’d push them to monitor you for that just so you know. I am strep b positive this pregnancy and all they do is put you on antibiotics during labor with your usual fluids !
