it's not just that, the hormonal influx also alters the pressure around the optic nerves and other nerves for that matter (many pregnant women report that their sense of smell remarkedly decreases, which has been shown in a recent journal article to be linked to the swelling of the hypothalamus).elpmis said:

I just didn't go into detail because I figured no one would give a shit or they could just google it if they wanted to know more (like u did)
pressure of optic fluid is NOT the same as pressure around the optic nerveelpmis said:
and for the record, i didn't google it. pubmed is my only source for medical information these days, and i read the paper about 2 months ago. gives me something to do in my down time from phd work.

optic fluid rises roughly 4% and optic nerve pressure is the same amount, no?
I said EYE PRESSURE - I didn't mean specifically optic fluid OR nerve
I WAS GENERALIZING THE WHOLE DAMN THING
and i said AROUND the nerve, not IN the nerve. jebus. and technically speaking, the eye is just the orb in the socket, not pertaining to the rest of the optic system. the vitreous gel levels only rise in the eye itself iirc, otherwise it would cause all sorts of problems with signal transduction in the nerve moreso than just blurry vision.elpmis said:

i know of many pregnant women whose smells are on overdrive, and they're out of whack. i know i would just be sitting there, and all of a sudden some WEIRD smell would hit me and stay with me.
my girlfriend was driving down the interstate and all of a sudden, smelled bananas. it stuck with her for awhile.
pregnancy's a WEIRD thing!!

damned hormones.
all i craved to eat when preggers was steak steak steak. others i know couldn't STAND the thought/smell/sight/taste/touch of certain foods. something they loved they then couldn't stand. or they couldn't cook/eat meat. it's very weird.
