Eye Twitch

in December 2014 Moms
I haven't been on here much, for some reason my personal life decided to cut into my Bump time. I did develop an eye twitch and I can't seem to get rid of it. I actually saw a doctor for it a few years ago and after numerous blood tests I was told to cut out caffiene and get more potassium. It worked until the last few days. Anyone have a secret they use to get rid of these things? (I have a doctors appointment tomorrow where I also intend to bring this up)

    Unfortunately, higher progesterone levels can contribute as well. Aka-another preggo side effect.

    Mine has always been stress related so I suggest doing whatever you need to relax.

    I had it in the first tri, always my right eye, I looked like a loon with it twitching all the time. It Stopped on its own.

    Mine is also the right eye. @MissChristineMarie‌ I may have try more sleep, I am still sleeping through the night but maybe need more of it.

    Bananas were my cure. Eye twitches are so annoying!

    You're still sleeping through the night?! Curse you! Just kidding, but I'm mad crazy jealous. Hope your eye stops twitching soon! :)

    I had this first tri. Mine was from MSG in the Chinese food I craved. Once I stopped eating it and then ordering it without MSG, I haven't had the problem since.

    Mine are always stress related, but I know how you feel. I get it weeks at a time. Makes you wanna pluck it out with a fork.

    I would say to try tonic water as that's what the eye docs I work for recommend. But upon further research I guess you're not supposed to have it while pregnant. :(

    Tonic isn't necessarily safe during pregnancy. There's controversy over the quinine.
    Yeah, I caught that and edited after I posted. Had no idea!

    My mum used to say that your eye twitches because you are guilty or need to confess something.
    I usually take a nap and get a few good nights of sleep and it goes away.

    This sounds crazy but I think there is a pressure point in your mouth (either roof of mouth or inside cheek.. I forget) that you can try. Google it. My crazy Dad told me about it once.
    As I was typing this in Google recommended "Pressure Point in Mouth to Induce Labor".  I can't wait for someone to post this thread.

    Hi, I'm an optometrist. Twitching eyes are typically due to lack of sleep and/or stress. It has been suggested that it can be from a lack of potassium (hence the eating of bananas) but there isn't exactly scientific proof of that. It is possible it could be from a change in prescription but is usually associated more with stress. Fortunately, although really annoying, it's typically nothing to be overly concerned about. Hope it goes away soon!
