I'm feeling dizzy.... I'm feeling better!
Every now and then, I get a wave of dizziness where everything seems to go slanty for a few seconds and then it passes. This just started happening about 2 hours ago or so...
I'm almost 39 weeks - should I call my doc?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So I laid down for a while, had a bottle of water, an apple and some Nilla wafers. I feel so much better. I actually showered and stuff too.
I think it might have been from the caffeine in the coffee I had this morning - it was the first time I had a caffeinated beverage in almost 40 weeks.
If it happens again, the doc will be called.

I think changes in vision could be due to blood pressure and preeclamsia (sp?). I would definitely call your OB. Hope everything is ok!

Yeah, I would. It could be something as simple as eating a piece of fruit to get your blood sugar up. But def call to make sure.

It's not quite my vision - almost like that point where you're really drunk and have the spins while you're standing up...
I'm going to lay down for a bit and see if it passes...

I would call but have a glass of water and a piece of fruit and lay down. I have been getting dizzy spells as well. It would be anxiousness and nerves being you are due next week.

Re: I'm feeling dizzy....
I think yes- it could def. be blood pressure related and since you have had swelling issues and stuff I bet your doc would want to know.
Unless you haven't eaten yet- than I'd probably have breakfast and see if it passes.

Re: I'm feeling dizzy....
If it persists I would call the doctor. I had some experiance with this yesterday.
I was at the post office mailing out my ty's and all of a sudden I broke out in a sweat and felt like I could faint and was shakey. I ran out of there, drove through the dairy barn and bought a big thing of water and chocolate donoughts bc I knew I had to shove somethign in my mouth! So make sure you stay hydrated and eat lots of small snacks. Since then I feel better, but If I were you I would def call if this continues

And drink a lot of fluids and take it easy - see if it passes.

Re: I'm feeling dizzy....
V-stop and call the Doc right now! It could be nothing, but dizziness with changes in vision could be early signs of preeclampsia! Let me know how you are doing!

I agree - knowing your swelling issues - I'd call.
 ...I saw on FB that you did have a yummy breakfast though, so I know it's not that.

Re: I'm feeling dizzy....
ive had bouts of dizziness for the past few weeks - so bad a couple of weeks ago that I had to grab onto my sister so I wouldnt fall while we were walking in the mall.
the Highrisk OB suggested a trip to the opthamalogist, while my regular OB kinda shrugged it off 
i guess theyd be more worried if my BP wasnt ALWAYS 110/70 
only 10 more dayss!!!!
