Hi Ladies
DG, sounds like you had a nice valentines day and your gift does sound lovely
OH bought me a box set of 'Not Going Out', a comedy series I love, so was pleased with that. I cooked us a nice casserole dinner too
He had his Prosecco with his dinner and has nearly ate all the choccies I bought him
I've had a midwife appointment this morning and thankfully all still seems to be going well
BP was fine at 106/60, urine fine, bump measuring bang on for 31 weeks and little one's heartbeat good
I was pleased to see my BP and urine were still fine as I have had a couple of instances of something strange recently and was a bit worried my BP had shot up or something. Once nearly 2 weeks ago and then again yesterday at work I've had a spell of lights flashing in my vision, both times it lasted around 15-20 minutes. It's really weird and it's hard to see properly when it happens
On both occasions I haven't had a headache or anything else with it, no dizziness or anything. Just the vision issue. Told midwife and she said, as my BP and urine are still fine and BP has been fine throughout so far, she thinks it may be caused by a dip in either blood pressure or blood sugar. Said it could even be down to baby's position, ie s/he could press on a blood vessel for a while and then when s/he moves my blood pressure may briefly 'spike' causing it. She just said to monitor it and if it keeps happening let her know and she'll check my BP again.
On looking on the internet though, another thing it seems it could be is a 'visual migraine'
I have never had a migraine in my life and am very lucky in that I very rarely get any kind of headache. But it says that pregnancy hormones can trigger them in women who have never had them before and you can get just visual ones without the headache, which are described as exactly what I had both times. So could be those. Apparently they often then go once you've had the baby
Other than this weird thing, I still feel very well in general and think I have been very lucky so far with pregnancy
Just get odd little aches and pains, mainly at night, but other than that am pretty good
How is everyone? x
