31 weeks with Blurred vision and headaches?

Question

I have been getting headaches a lot lately but I normally just blow them off. I can't blow them off anymore and I don't believe in taking any medication while pregnant unless told to by my doctor. Also I am getting blurred vision that just started today and wouldn't go away. I had to blink a few times and shake my head for it to go back to normal. What causes this and how can I change it?

Answer 1

Call your doctor now!  These are both warning signs of preeclampsia and gestational diabetes.  Don't wait for this to go away on its own.

All the best to you.

Answer 2

Pre-eclampsia and or high blood pressure, I had both while pregnant, my headaches were so bad, all I seen were showers of stars falling out of my eyes, and blurred vision, at one point I couldn't see very far in front of me. I went from having 200 protein in my urine,  to spilling over 8,000. This is very serious and you need to get with your doctor right away.

I ended up being so sick, I had to give birth at 30 weeks. My son was born 2lb 12oz.

If this goes un-treated you are risking your life and the life of your baby!
