Seeing stars/spots

Does anyone else see stars/spots when they bend over to pick things up? I’m 27 weeks and for probably the last two weeks I’ve been seeing stars when I stand up from bending over to grab something. I’m just curious if this is something that just happens with pregnancy or if I should contact my doctor.

I had this midwife said it can be a sign of lower blood pressure

It can be a sign of blood pressure or low iron

Thank you ladies!

I have this when I shower sometimes or go to lay down in bed.. I thought it was because I was dizzy? Not sure why though.

Aside from low blood pressure or iron deficiency, You’re also probably coming up too fast when you bend down. If you rule out the coming up part, you should let your doctor know

Sounds like a blood circulation issue. I've issues with my vision like that in the past as well.

I have dealt with that since week 23-25. I can’t remember it feels like forever though, lol. I recently found out I’m anemic, so that explained it for me! I’d just mention it next time you’re in the office.

I saw stars when I tried to do some light cardio...so I just stopped and did floor stretches instead 😯

i see spots out of nowhere. often when im showering or just moving too much
