Has anyone experienced what appears to be flashes of sparkly little lights, like silver glitter? I started to see these little bits of glitter in my vision this last week and called my doctor to find out if it's anything to be concerned about. I am now going in for my doctor's appointment tomorrow instead of 2 weeks from today. It's for some "tests" but the nurse who called me back did not specify what test I would be given or for what reason. Anyone experience anything like this? I don't know if it makes a difference but I am 23 weeks, 1 day along.
Re: Anyone else seeing "glitter"?
I had both this and dark spots in my vision with my pregnancy. My perinatologist said that the "glittery" floaters I would get were from poor circulation. I would notice them when I would get up from my desk after sitting for a long time. She said the blood pools in your legs and it would help if I elevated my legs.
I also got dark spots in my vision when I had pre-e. These were like black spots that didn't really move like the glittery, sparkly stuff. They were very different sensations. I think the stuff you describe is pretty normal as your circulation changes. It's always a good idea to get it checked out though.
