seeing stars

Hi, I'm 32 weeks pregnant and for the last 2 days I have been seeing stars not sure on what the real name for it is. Plus my eye sight has been getting a little blurry and I've been getting hit flashes and my hands are kinda shaky and I've had a headache for the last 2 day :). I'm not sure if this is something I should be worried about or if it just comes with the territory of being pregnant..

I have the same thing.... I see shiny spots in my vision. This is a sign of low blood pressure. When it happens, lay down immediately. This could cause you to pass out. Also, standing or sitting to quickly can cause the spots. Its very common during pregnancy
