[QUOTE="Raisen22, post: 989704, member: 155207"] Hi Emilyprice, I'm currently 17weeks preg with my 2nd. With my 1st I already had a bout of laser sessions and when I found out I was preg (wasn't planned) I had a load more laser sessions in both eyes. After I had my 1st in 2013, I didn't have many problems with eyes but did have a bleed in my right eye that didn't go away and kept bleeding. This ended up with me having a vitrectomy and cataract operation in the right eye- was told after the op at a 3 month follow-up that there was swelling to the retina and they would keep a watch on it, left eye was ok, this was all last year. So now I'm pregnant with my 2nd (again wasn't planned and had the coil in!!!) had the typical eye screening at 16weeks and due to me being type 1, pregnant, and my history I was referred to the hospitals eye consultant. I had my appointment yesterday and all was ok with my eyes, will be having a follow-up with him just to keep a check on things. So, I've had no probs so far, considering my history and the fact I wasn't even planning another yet. My pre-conception hba1c was 59mmols, and at 15weeks it was 42mmols. I have not been told by anyone that getting pregnant again was a silly idea what with my existing eye problems etc, or that I'm going to have a whole truck load of much, much, worse problems (unless I don't keep my levels in control), it's been the same advice that pregnancy can cause eye problems or speed up existing ones. OP I would imagine that if pregnancy was going to be such a big problem for you/us then the eye specialists/consultants that we've seen or seen along the way, or even the diabetes consultants would have said something after having a child already - that getting pregnant again will cause us, or our eyes real big trouble; unless, as I have already said above that you abuse your levels whilst being pregnant. Good luck to you and hope all goes well for you and baby! [/QUOTE]
