The speck in my eye.

So I'm reading through blogs the other night and notice that there is a floating something or another in my right eye... I try to blink it away but it stays there.  I try to look past it and then just flat out ignore it.  I mention it to hubbie and he tells me to see a doc.  So I say okay and then do nothing about it.

This morning that tiny little speck is back.  It comes and goes but it's as if I have something in my eye but not something that I can wash out.  It moves with my eye as I read something.  But then as soon as I focus on it I can't see it.  It's weird.  I will call my Optometrist (I haven't seen him in quite a few years) and schedule something for tomorrow morning. 

At my last endo appointment he checked my eyes and said everything looks fine... but maybe doing that crazy dialation of the eye would be better.  They can see more. 

I'm not sure if I should be worried or not.  I remember reading that sometimes pregnancies with T1 can have extra strain on the eyes.  And may even lead to a scheduled C-section to prevent further damage. 

Okay, so now I'm concerned.  I want to have a natural delivery again.  That is the plan anyways.  I understand medically I need to do what is best for the baby and for me.  But I also know what I'd like to put down on my "Birth Plan".  While we may deviate from the Plan, I only wish to do so if the medical evidence is pointing us in the direction alone. So yeah.  I'll call up the eye doc's office and let y'all know how it goes.  Pray that everything is a-okay.  I have officially spooked myself.

  1. Oh honey, I pray everything's okay too >:D<
    I know here that when I was pg they did eye checks every 2-3 months as std practice because T1 pregnancy, and the tight sugars, are pretty hard on the body - ironic isn't it? Tight control = body freaks out. Keep us posted ok? x

  2. Really?! Tight sugar are hard on the body? That doesn't make sense at all. Hm. Weird. Hopefully it's nothing. The endo said they're fine so I hope they are... if there was any concern he would have said something AND THEN sent me to a specialist... we will wait and we will see.

    Thanks for the support. I really appreciate it.
