Late Term and Child Loss

Question...

I went to the eye doctor this week and they asked me if I had any major medical changes since my last visit....

does a 19 week pregnancy loss count???

I said no...just because I didn't want to go into it and possibly get emotional (and it was the eye doctor so it really didn't seem pertinent)  but I was just wondering for future dr.'s visits...should I disclose my loss to them as a major medical change?  does it matter?

thanks in advance.

Re: Question...

  • That is a really good question and I would like to see what others have to say. Personally, being in the medical field, I would say yes.  Because you never know how the hormones, weight gain/loss, delivery, blood loss, etc effects your body, even though you may feel fine.  Eye doctor... maybe not, unless they find a problem.

  • I don't unless it's somehow relevant such as to my primary care doctor who I only see once a year. Obviously my OB and RE know everything.

    I know it's hard to be asked those questions though :

  • Odd that you ask...I felt like my eyes changed a lot during my pregnancy. I find myself far more sensitive to lights. So much so, that I wear a visor at work. Which is funny because I'm in accounting and everyone jokes that my visor should be green...anyway, even since givigin birth to Lillian, they are still sensitive and I wonder if I need to go to an eye doctor. I've never been to one. But yes, I think you should tell them, because what if being pregnant changed the shap of your eye or something.

    And yes, it's hard being asked many questions these days :(

  • My vision was fine at my last appointment, but my dentist asked if I'd had some stress lately. I had two cavities that had just randomly popped up, and that could've been related to stress, they said. They also knew I was pregnant when I'd seen them last, so luckily, I just had to say that I'd had a loss and that had definitely caused stress.

    My eye dr asks because your eyes can change during pregnancy.
