    Retinopathy in pregnancy

    Thanks everyone! Unfortunately I had a haemorrhage yesterday, so my vision in my right eye is blurry and distorted. I'm quite upset that i want given laser treatment when this was first detected a month ago, I'm sure the bleed could have been avoided: the previous post seems to support this...

    Pregnancy: Unplanned little passenger onboard
