37 weeks - blurred vision, headache, numb fingers

[pinkspottywellies]

Tonight on the way back from town my vision went blurry - like water ripples. That lasted for maybe 15 mins and I couldn't see properly round the edge of my vision. Then it subsided but I got a headache which I still have.

Then when we got back from having dinner I brought some stuff in from the car and went to get dd's milk and my fingers went numb - starting with my thumb and along each finger. Anyway, that's finished now too. Still left with headache. Have taken paracetamol now which was probably silly but head still hurts.

So itchy hands (although not numb), blurred vision and severe headaches are on the list of things to ring your mw immediately (bold in notes!) if they occur. But they've gone now, so I don't need to phone unless it starts again do I?

Oh and I saw the midwife yesterday and my BP was fine.

Phone now, please

These are symptoms of cholestasis and is potentially very dangerous. Never leave it to chance.

Dammit. I thought you'd say that. I wanted to bury my head in the sand!

Off the internet NOW and phone the labour ward for advice. You know thats what you have to do.

I rang. She said to ring again later if the headache sticks around but otherwise not to worry.

But thanks, cause I did know I should ring

i get this occasionally, am 33 weeks nearly and get blurry vision and feel dizzy but my blood pressure is always fine and baby is movin ok! I think u should always get these things checked out, but am the first to admit i don't all the time! Hope everything goes ok?
