burst facial blood vessels during MS....

[Leannabanana]

just got back from the docs as woke up this morning with tiny little red pin prick marks all over eyelids, high cheekbones and undereye area - he said that althoug my blood pressure is ok i have most like burst these vessels during my morning sickness [which incidently comes in the evenings not the mornings....

it looks horrible....any one else have this happen and how long til it goes....IT DOES GO DOESN'T IT?????

Hi. Yes I had this when I was pregnant with DS2. I used to get my morning sickness in the middle of the night. Used to wake up at 3.30 am to be sick - it was horrible. Then next morning I would have little red marks at the top of my cheekbones and under my eyes too. Don't worry it does go. It fades over 2 or 3 days. It's caused by the temporary increase in pressure in the tiny capillaries in your skin. This can happen if you are being sick especially if fairly violently sick!! Sorry you have this. Morning sickness is horrible isn't it? Hope the sickness doesn't last too long.

I've had them too. They do fade pretty quickly.

Sorry you are suffering so badly. I found the dry heaves the worst

Good to know I am not the only one who gets this - people seem to think it's really weird when I mention it! I got this fairly regularly up to 14/15 weeks (but mildly), and have had it twice since, once around 23 weeks, and most recently at 31 weeks when I had random vomiting (both times it was stronger). It always seems to take 3 days or so to fade - but it will go down so don't worry!!

Hope you feel better soon!

I have started to get some of these now Leanna as well as general blotchy skin and bloodshot eyes.

I can't recommend anything as I have no idea, but wish to commiserate with you and give you a very non-mn [hug]. I hope the ms passes very soon x

ok well they have passed nearly today....i am petrified of being sick now tho to the point of irrationality.....bloody pregnancy symptoms suck....xxx

thanks for your kind words tho - right back at you...xx
