    Seeing spots in pregnancy
    33 weeks pregnant.

    Hey, I keep seeing movements or dark movements out of the corner of my eyes every so often, they seem to be getting more frequent lately, I have low blood pressure but I feel fine when I see them, I don't be feeling dizzy or faint when they appear. They don't float around my eyes, I will just see them quick as a flash then they're gone and I keep thinking someone is beside me or a fly is flying past me.

    Anyone any idea what they are or what causes them?
    Thanks :)

    Maybe lack of sleep? I was going to say floaters, but you said you are just seeing them out of the corner of your eyes? When is your next doc appointment? (Insert usual "go see your doctor" plug here). I had really high blood pressure and I would see spots at times. My doc said since I was so far along he didn't want to give me meds and ordered me on 2 days of strict bed rest. I did feel better after getting a solid 16 hour sleep!

    Let me know how the doc appointment goes. Hopefully J will be on soon and she can give you some better advice.

    adviceishere,
    I know it's been a while, but my wife reported the same thing!
    I was wondering if you ever experienced this again - or found out what it was?
