Seeing spots postpartum?

I've been noticing like tiny little flashing spots that will come for a split second then go away, I didn't think anything of it until I just remembered being told to call the doctor if this happens during pregnancy, anyone else experiencing this postpartum?

I have a nurse coming to my house in an hour so I'm going to discuss it with her but I'm really getting scared about it now.

  • My only concern would be preeclampsia which technically can begin up to 6 weeks post-partum. I'm sure the nurse will take your BP to evaluate.

  • I took my BP this morning and it was 135/88 which is "decent" id say, a little high but at least the diastolic number is below 90. I hate that the first postpartum appointment is at 6weeks, scares me that something can go unnoticed for all that time.
  • No spots, but definitely feel woozy getting up from laying down or sitting for awhile. I chalk it up to BP changes. Really trying to make sure to stay hydrated and fed well, especially since I'm breastfeeding.
