[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1210175, member: 52527"] Pregnancy does increase the risk of progression of diabetic retinopathy so screening is performed more frequently, usually at around 10 weeks and then again at 28 weeks. If background retinopathy is found at the first screening, an extra screening is offered at 20 weeks and again within 6 months of delivery. If there is any significant progression, the more frequent screening will ensure that it is picked up and referred to ophthalmology early, before any sight-loss can develop and at the optimal time for treatment.
