Ladies need urgent help, 28 weeks pregnant

[MummaSue]

Well, I am glad to hear that you got to the bottom of it and your Dr took the time to listen and help you.

Fingers crossed you don't have any more episodes.

Hugs

Thanks Sue for your good wish.

here is my little update.
After making my food very healthy I could see improvement in my blood pressure its a lot normal now mostly 106 to 110 by 65 or 70.

My sore limbs and arms looks cured too with 2 tabs of caltraite (previously was taking one)

I am taking Floradix two doses a day I could see the hot flashes are reducing ,heart pounding is also in control.My lips which were turning brown I could see are on little improve pinkish side too ( i think healthy eating from almost 15 days is also contributing)

Now the worrisome thing my flashy episodes are still there. I get one every day there is no improvement in that section .Now early in morning too even after eating at 5 or 6 in the morning so i don't get up with empty stomach in the morning.inner side of my eyes looks very red too but I have dark circles at outerside.

I have noticed that previously there were headaches followed by flashy lights but from two days after this episode (which lasts 15 to 25 minutes) no more headaches too.
( my HB count was 104)

These flashy lights still scares me i can't go my hospital i know they won't give me any more importance.I was already told to contact my GP for further assistance but GP is off till 8th.I thought It might help to have to Iron injections to cure anemia or have some blood work to check whats wrong may be Ia m deficient Vit B 12.( just googling all mornings to dig the cause)

No clue to how to improve these episodes really don't want to stress my husband in this issue I want to remain calm but once he comes home the first thing I discuss is " i again had those lights "

I want to enjoy my pregnancy like other women want to buy maternity cloths want to have smile on my face, beautiful dreams if my bub but I can't help.getting depressed is natural.

Love and hugs to my all my belly buddies.

I just wanted to give you some suggestons for helping to keep your iron up. I've had problems with anemia most of my life so have had to be very careful to make sure I get enough iron in my diet. Broccoli and bok choy are particularly good to eat becasue they have a high iron content and they also have quite a bit of vitamin C (vitamin C can help your body absorb iron). Spinach also has quite a bit of iron. Additionally red meat (like steak) has a lot of iron, which your body can absorb easily. So if you try to include one or more of these in your meals throughout the day it can help keep your iron levels up.

I also think that the 'lights' you are seeing are caused by a migrane. I also have migranes and get an aura (or lights) with most of mine. I've had them since I was about 10 and it can be very confusing and upsetting at first, especially if you don't know what is going on and why. I find that laying down in a dark room seems to help.

I hope that soon you will be able to relax and enjoy your pregnancy

you say you drink juice, what kind is it?
just becuase oranges can be a migraine trigger for some people..
