Today, twice. I know that it's associated with high blood pressure but I've had very low blood pressure all this pregnancy (and in general). Should I be concerned or just make a note of it? I'm 2 weeks out from a regular appointment. I feel totally normal otherwise.

I had this two days ago. Low blood pressure history as well. I attributed it to being a little dehydrated so I drank a couple glasses of water and laid down for a bit. It went away. Maybe try something like that and if it doesn't go away, call a nurse triage line?

Thanks. I may be a bit dehydrated from a busy morning and not much water. I may call, for sure if it happens again, but I'll wait for now and take it easy.

Dehydration, low bp, low iron can all cause this. If you rested and drank water and it's gone away you can just mention it at your next appointment if you aren't having any other symptoms.

Thanks, powerofbacon. I've been fine so far. I've been feeling a little more pregnant and tired in general but that's just the almost third trimester catching up. I've been careful to drink more and I haven't had any more episodes like that.

Good, I am glad to hear that! Obviously I'm paranoid about stuff like this now, so I've been thinking about you and hoping that it hadn't happened again.
Thanks. If I felt truly off, I wouldn't hesitate to call. How are you doing??

I always get this when I'm pregnant and my blood pressure is always low during pregnancy. Not sure if that helps but just wanted to reassure you that seeing stars has never been a sign of high BP for me (and this is my 3rd pregnancy).
I'm doing okay! Just waiting for a callback from my doctor's office, feels like I have a UTI. Considering I had a kidney infection as of two weeks ago, I definitely want to catch this one quickly.
::poking around the wrong place::
Bacon, about two weeks after my kidney infection, I had a UTI. Then I had residual pain for years. In fact, I still have it. For a solid year after the kidney infection, I would go to the doctor every few weeks needing a UTI test because the pain was so bad. I ended up buying at home strips so I could stop being "that patient."
Just sharing random information here. :-) Are you feeling better??
