early symptom od preeclampsia
early symptom od preeclampsia
I just had my second scillitating scotoma, where I saw clear zig zag lines for at least 15 minutes. I read that in pregnant women, it could be an early symptom of preeclampsia. Has anyone had this before? And what did the dr say or do? My blood pressure has been normal this whole time

The vision changes doesn’t automatically mean preeclampsia. It can also mean a lack of water. Dehydration can cause vision changes, contractions and severe headaches. So make sure your hydrating. Also when you blood sugar drops it can cause vision changes. So my doctor recommends me to eat every 2-3 hours.

Could also be an ocular migraine, I never had one until I was pregnant. Kind of alarming when you see zigzags all of a sudden! Luckily mine always went away within 30 mins. Still notify your doctor though!

I actually see the zig zag line quite often. But this time it was a bigger pattern and took up a lot of my eyesight. I'll definitely make sure to drink more water. And eat every two-three hours. On the weekends, for some reason, I only eat when I'm hungry...which I know is prob too late. I need to stop doing that

Yeah you have to make sure you eat Hun. My doctor tells me the same thing. Even if I’m not hungry she tells me to snack on something it doesn’t have to be a huge meal.

I'm so bad at that. I have to do better. I need to buy food that I can eat without cooking too. That'll help during those times when I'm not hungry
