Fever
If you develop a fever of 101 degrees or higher during pregnancy, you may have developed an infection. You should make an appointment to see your doctor as soon as possible, who may prescribe antibiotics and rest. Monitor your temperature. A high fever for an extended period can harm your baby.
Blurred Vision or Spots
Pregnancy commonly affects a woman’s eyesight. However, if you are in the second half of your pregnancy and you develop any of the following vision-related problems, it could be a sign of pre-eclampsia. You should contact a doctor immediately if you develop:
● Double vision
● Blurring
● Dimming
● Flashing spots
● Lights that last for more than two hours
Swollen Hands or Feet
Pregnant women often develop swelling or puffiness in the hands, ankles, face and eyes late in pregnancy. Most of the time, this is just a normal symptom of late pregnancy and isn’t a cause for concern. However, if swelling is severe or comes on suddenly, especially when accompanied by a headache or vision problems, you may have pre-eclampsia. Call your doctor immediately for an evaluation.
