black squigglies in vision?

Anyone have these and/or know what causes them? I usually get them as a migraine is starting, but lately (I'm 34 wks) I've been getting them without any headache. Any ideas?

    Is there any chance that your blood pressure is high, or that you are dehydrated?

    Other then that, it sounds like you just have eye floaters. (yes, that is what they are called) They are typically benign and you just adapt to them.

    Mention it to your doc, though.

    Sounds like an ocular migraine to me.

    I started getting "floaters" a few months ago and made an appt with my eye doctor.  I ended up having a torn retina and had to have it fixed right away.  Make sure you bring it up to the dr.

    I've had them since my first month. I usually get them when i get lightheaded or dizzy. My doc says its from very low blood pressure which ive had problems with since finding out i was pregnant.

    I have floaters. Doc said it is just caused by the circulatory changes in pg. Annoying, but harmless.

    They sound like Floaters. I get them when I'm tired. Dr said to rest more.

    Have your doctor take your blood pressure and test your urine. Visual disturbances can be signs of preeclampsia.

    My dr said seeing white was normal, but to alert her if they are black. Blood pressure.
