i'm 35 weeks pregnant and have been seeing
flashes of light a few times a day, all I
can find on google is eye disorders, I
think this is an oxygen thing. I take deep
breaths until they go away. It happens
almost everytime I twist to reverse the
car. You know they say not to lay on your
back because it cuts off oxygen but I
wonder if my babe is postioned to hit that
vital something when I am sitting and
twist, cause it happens when I'm giving my
girls a bath. Then again, it happens
occasionaly for no reason at times it
seems. Could this be happening because at
night I often wake up and find myself
lying flat on my back. Maybe a lingering
effect of lacking oxygen at night. Anyone?

I think you should speak with your doctor
about this at your next appointment. It
could have something to do with the
increased blood volume due to pregnancy -
however, if you have high blood pressure
this could be a sign (the flashes) that
you need further care.
Good luck.

my bradley instructor (birth classes) said
that flashes combined with high blood
pressure could be a sign of pre-elamsia.
She advised us to call our doctor if we
experienced these things. You should do
the same. It could be nothing at all, but
its better to know for sure.
