Flashing lights in my eyes and high(er) bp ... should I call mw?

[SoBroken]

I am 40+1 and had an antenatal today. I had raised bp: 145/86 as opposed to 123/87, but doc just told me to take it easy.

However, about 10 mins ago, I just developed lights in front of my eyes, which I know is a sign of pre eclampsia. The lights are round tyhe edges of my vision and givibg me sort of tunnel vision.

Should I call someone or am I just overwrought?

Please answer asap, a bit worried!

Yes call now. They will prob want to check things over.

Yes, phone and speak to someone. Much better than worry.

yup - phone call required to get it checked out

I had flashing lights from about 25 weeks with my first but BP was 'normal' so no problem if it helps give you some hope!

I developed pre-clampsia. Was induced day after. I was overdue. It can be dangerous. Do u have headache n light headed aswell? Did you phone ur mw?

Phone. Or if you can't get anyone, go to the hospital with your bag and prepared to stay. Good luck!

Call them now. The visual disturbance could be a warning sign. I may be a migraine, but you definitely need to get it checked out asap.

Always call the midwife - they never mind checking your concerns. Hope all is ok.

All is fine, went in and got checked and they couldn't find anything wrong except a plus of protein in my urine. That and blood been sent off and they sent me home.

Lights have gone now and I'm taking it easy today, DS at my mum's while I rest.

Thanks everyone for the advice, much appreciated.

So glad you came back to update and everything is fine!
