Hi ladies!
Before gettin pregnant I was a routine migraine sufferer. I'd get what they call "aura" or visual disturbance and then a horrible migraine headache within 30 minutes or so of the headache. Since being pregnant I have yet to get a migraine but have gotten the visual disturbance twice now since last week. I'm 36 weeks +2 and curious if I should call my OB today (I'm experiencing vision loss now but it is fading)

I would probably call just to be sure. That's what they are there for!

Yes - you should call your OB. Although these symptoms seem to be regular for you (my migraines sometimes leave me partially (temporarily) blind, but it is something my OB and my neuro want to monitor), it still should be brought to your Doc's attention, as it could be a sign of other issues, i.e., preeclampsia
I hope that doesn't come off as trying to scare you! I just want to encourage you to let the right folks know so that you and your LO are okay.

I would call. Hopefully you're just super lucky and not getting the headache, but it never hurts to check!

Thanks ladies! I called and should get a call back after they check with the doctor. My guy said to call but I'm worried they will have me go in for pee tests etc etc when I might not need it or something, horrible reasoning I know.
This happened last week too so here's hoping its a fluke

Definitely call! It's better to be on the safe side. Auras are scary and so strange. Feel better!

Glad you called. I have always read that vision loss is definitely a reason to call especially in your last 4 weeks.
Keep us updated!

Well, left hand/fingers went numb then left cheek/teeth and side of my tongue and spoke with the doctor. These are all my classic Pre-pregnancy migraine symptoms and as I was talking to the doctor they slowly began to fade and the pain of the migraine began. As I get closer to the end of my pregnancy I'm noticing my body getting back to the way it used to be! Even with my blood sugars returning to normal levels (I have GD)
Needless to say he told me to head to the hospital of any symptoms worsen but that it is likely a migraine not pre/e

Well I'm glad you got some good answers from your doctor. Just take good care of yourself. And don't hesitate to head to the hospital if something doesn't feel right.

I am sorry that your migraine is kicking in, but glad your doctor doesn't think it is pre-e!

Hope the migraine is a short one. But if it gets worse, you better go in and get checked out!
Feel better!
