I think it was related to my pregnancy anemia. Once I increased my iron it went away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seeing-bright-spots#post-2161554 Thu, 30 Apr 2015 05:34:00 +0000 ValentineMommy 2161554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebittyhouse: Boo - they're definitely no fun, but I'm glad you think that's all it is! It's definitely not a retinal thing if Tylenol makes it go away. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seeing-bright-spots#post-2161515 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 22:58:47 +0000 Corduroy 2161515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebittyhouse: I'm 33 weeks and have had three auras this pregnancy. I had more my previous pregnancy. My coworkers actually figured out I was pregnant at 8 weeks when I shouted something like "Ugh, I can't see. I forgot about this BS." In reality I'm relieved every time they go away without turning into "real" migraines like the auras did for me in puberty. My doctors are not concerned at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seeing-bright-spots#post-2160888 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 12:04:49 +0000 namaste 2160888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It happened to me when I was pregnant a lot! I would take a break and lie down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seeing-bright-spots#post-2160871 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 11:50:48 +0000 Mrs. J 2160871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like an aural migraine! Happens to me both pregnant and not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seeing-bright-spots#post-2160854 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 11:39:19 +0000 littlebittyhouse 2160854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: aural/visual migraines sounds exactly like it! when I take tylenol the floaters go away and I have a dull ache for like 10-15 min but then it is gone. So strange. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seeing-bright-spots#post-2160853 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 11:37:35 +0000 mfa_lady 2160853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this, too. My vision was also blurrier in general, and neither led to anything serious. Actually, neither led to anything at all. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seeing-bright-spots#post-2160784 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 10:39:59 +0000 macintosh 2160784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sometimes get floaters in my vision when I move or stand up quickly. It always goes away after a few seconds, so I haven't been worried. I hope yours is nothing major. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seeing-bright-spots#post-2160734 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 10:04:55 +0000 ValentineMommy 2160734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As someone who has had both retinas detached and 4 retinal surgeries, I'd personally get it checked out. But don't let that completely freak you out, you would be seeing massive amounts of floaters if they were detaching.</p> <p>That being said, I started getting aural/visual migraines in my last pregnancy, which sounds like what you're describing (and my head didn't hurt either). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seeing-bright-spots#post-2160710 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 09:55:31 +0000 edelweiss 2160710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would try calling an ophthalmologist as well. it sounds like it could be a typical pregnancy symptom, but you also want to rule out retinal issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seeing-bright-spots#post-2160687 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 09:43:38 +0000 Anya 2160687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this from time to time. If you have other symptoms it can be an indication of pre-e, but on its own it wasn't a concern. Something about how fluid retention can put pressure behind your eyes and cause blurry vision or floaters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seeing-bright-spots#post-2160686 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 09:43:11 +0000 cascademom 2160686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some blurry vision with my last pregnancy. I went in for a round of BP checks with the nurse practitioner. Everything was fine, but it does definitely happen near the end of pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/seeing-bright-spots#post-2160680 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 09:41:25 +0000 littlebittyhouse 2160680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I am 30w pregnant and this is the second time this has happened to me in two weeks - all of a sudden my vision gets weird and I start seeing bright spots. BP is fine (120/60), I am hydrated. I called my OB last time and they didn't seem alarmed at all, said to take tylenol if I get a headache.</p> <p>Anyone else experience this? I am super freaked out. </p>
