i am 19 weeks pregnant, since about week 15 my eyes have been really itchy sometimes sore and dry,?

Question

My doctor is not concerned by this. Has anyone else experienced this problem and what should i use to help ?

Answer 1

I'm almost 19 weeks along too (when's your due date, mine is April 16th) and I'm having similar issues. I'm sneezing all the time, my nose is always running, and my throat hurts because of drainage. My eyes are itchy too. I find Singulair (which my doctor okayed) helps a little. It's an allergy/asthma medicine. My doctor just said that running nose/itchy eyes is just part of being pregnant (amoung other fun things like pimples.) I would try to take an approved allergy medicine and it might help you with the itchy eyes. Good luck :)

Answer 2

I have not experienced it personally, but I understand why your doctor is not worried. In almost every pregnancy book you'll read, those symptoms are common in pregnant women. I'd try some itchy eyes visine....they don't recommend getting glasses, contacts, or wearing contacts during pregnancy. Especially since you already confirm your eye symptoms. Your eyes change and distort during pregnancy that's why they don't want you to get visual aids and wearing contacts will aggravate the problems you are already having.

Answer 4

Perfectly absolutely normal. Use some artificial tear drops and make sure you get at least 8 glasses of water a day. As your pregnancy progresses you may even need more than that.

Answer 5
