    Any ideas what this could be?

    I'm 16.5 weeks pregnant and for the last week I will get this thing where my vision goes blurry (badly, can barely see a thing), feel dizzy, extreamly weak (can't feel my legs etc... Sorta feel outta body iykwim). It will just come on out of no where without any warning... Usually the only way I can get rid of it is to lay down on the spot and close my eyes (bit hard if I'm not at home, I just have 2 try and make it to a seat). This morning it happened while I was driving, I had to pull over straight away.

    I'd see your OB/dr. It could be blood pressure related, or it could be sugar related.
    Maybe try eating some lollies, eat more often. I find I get an episode like that if I haven't eaten enough.

    Definitely see your doctor, like Charlotte91 said it could be low BP or Low blood sugars.

    Before it happened this morning had you had anything to eat?

    Yeah I thought maybe low BP or low sugar. I keep a pack of lollies on me if I'm out and about but they don't seem to work. I had breakfast, I do everymorning when I'm pregnant or BF (normally I don't) and I came home and had something else to eat. I still feel a bit weird but...

    Blurred vision is also a sign of pre-eclampsia. I would see my ob/gp straightaway and get some answers. Better to be safe. Like you said, if it's happening while you're driving etc., it could be pretty dangerous. Please let us know how you go. Stay safe.
