mine got marginally worse - that is, I assume it was pregnancy - I had to get a slightly stronger prescription when I went back for an eye test about 3 months after DD was born. But they didn't get any worse during my second pregnancy so perhaps I shouldn't be so quick to blame it on pregnancy! Maybe they would have been worse regardless. Although the optometrist did agree with my assumption that the change in my eye sight was probably attributable to my pregnancy. Who knows?
Hopefully pregnancywill improve your eyesight - ooh wouldn't that be nice!
My eyesight got worse as well, I had to get new glasses at about 8 months last time. This time I haven't noticed any change. But I was told by Ob, Dr, and optometrist that it does happen and normally changes back... Just get them checked again when bubs is about 3 months old... if you have time!
I got my eyes tested when I was only 4 1/2 wks - hadn't even told hubby yet and the optomitrist asked if I was pregnant as there had been such a huge change (for the worst) unfortunately in my vision.
As for it after birth - I was told to wait until after you finish BF for all the hormones to go back to normal - which I have only just done and haven't had my eyes check since.
