(Well not great, but ya know, that's helpful information. ) Thank you. </p> <p>@Mrs Green Grass: it could be. I get them occasionally &amp; it could just be a coincidence that I'm also pregnant but I wanted to ask just in case </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-e-something-else-should-i-be-concerned#post-1869363 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 20:53:47 +0000 avivoca 1869363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: yeah.

I'll call to make sure tomorrow. I know blind spots are a pregnancy symptom but you're usually told that of they are followed by headaches it might be something more so I thought I would check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-e-something-else-should-i-be-concerned#post-1869151 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 19:44:27 +0000 avivoca 1869151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a few of those. They were optical migraines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-e-something-else-should-i-be-concerned#post-1869141 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 19:41:41 +0000 AprilFool 1869141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an episode at 38 weeks with blind spots and a headache and after an afternoon in hospital they decided it was a migraine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-e-something-else-should-i-be-concerned#post-1869138 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 19:40:16 +0000 Ms.Badger 1869138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are a lot of changes going on with your blood circulation right now in order to make a placenta and more blood and then your body has a whole new circuit it needs to pump blood through. So hopefully your symptoms are being brought on by these very significant changes and not anything scary. I would probably call the nurse's line to be sure though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-e-something-else-should-i-be-concerned#post-1869116 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 19:34:26 +0000 sapphire 1869116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-e is not diagnosed prior to 20 weeks. Very possibly could be atypical migraine worsened by pregnancy, dehydration, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-e-something-else-should-i-be-concerned#post-1868984 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 18:55:40 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1868984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So last pregnancy, I was diagnosed with pre-e at 38 weeks &amp; induced. I had been complaining of headaches &amp; blind spots since about 25 weeks but never conconsistently had high blood pressure until the last few weeks. They did a 24 hour urine test for protien &amp;actually originally I was told that I peed too much &amp; they couldn't tell if there was protien in my urine or not. Later they came back &amp; said there was.</p> <p>I am currently 9 weeks pregnant &amp; the blind spots started pretty much immediately. Today though, I had a blind spot last 30 minutes (like the were at 25 weeks on with LO #1) followed by a huge headaches (that I'm still feeling). My question is, can you get pre-e this early? Is this something else? I occasionally get blind spots followed by migraines maybe 3 times a year (it's hereditary), but nothing compared to the intensity &amp; frequency when I'm pregnant. </p>
