I am 38 weeks today and had to take early maternity leave last week for high blood pressure. We spent the entire afternoon at the hospital because i had a headache this morning and blurred vision but ended up getting sent home after my blood pressure dropped down after I was laying down again and some blood work/fetal monitoring.
Now tonight I'm feeling nauseous and just threw up and right after I threw up i was seeing spots - almost like shooting stars - for about 15-25 seconds. I don't know if I should call my doctor now, wait til morning or wait for Thursday's appointment. I am feeling especially hesitant because I feel like I "wasted" everyone's time already once today. Any advice?
Re: Seeing stars after vomiting, high blood pressure
As an RN and a fellow mommy who had high blood pressure/ Pre-E, you need to CALL YOUR DOCTOR RIGHT NOW! This is a sign of Pre-E and if it can go from pre-e to actual eclampsia at any moment.
Please, please call. Rather be safe than sorry right?
I see spots that squirm around whenever I stand up too fast or have been on my feet a long time. You probably just got up too fast or moved your head too fast after having it buried in the toilet.
Edit: I don't have blood pressure issues though.
