Blurred Vision during PREGNANCY?!?! (14 wks)?

Question

Hey, 
My older sister is 14 weeks preggy and she just woke up from being asleep since dinner. Her vision is blurred past about 2 ft. She also says she is starting to get a headache. Could it be pre-eclampsia? She is 17 if that counts for anything.

To help you out.  I just recently had a baby and did experience blurred vision in the final stages of pregnancy, in the same way. It is a symptom of preeclampsia, so she might want to get checked.  But it may simply be, the baby is pushing on a vein, or she needs food/sugar.  Sugar helped me. (Natural sugars, like oranges, bananas. . .)

It could be early signs of pre-eclampsia or just a vision problem.  During pregnancy the eyes usually get a little worse.  I had to have my prescription changed twice during my pregnancies then again after I had the babies because they would get so bad while pregnant.  I would have her call the Dr and see what they say though just to be on the safe side.

Most womens vision gets worse when they are pregnant. I don't have that and my vision is a lot worse, but to be on the safe side have her bring this up at her next doctors visit.

Yes, it sounds like symptoms of pre-eclampsia. She should go to the er, or at least call the doc ASAP.
