Should i restart my glaucoma medication now that i am past first trimester?



I was diagnosed with aphakic glaucoma when i was three and i found out this year i am pregnant. my docter advised i stop using drops during first trimester and not to restart until i had seen a docter again. i was then referred to a new docter as i moved city. i am now seven months pregnant and still havent seen my new docter, iv been sent an apointment for after baby is due, i have tried to have this changed many times to no avaiil. i am very worried as i am in the final stages of glaucoma and this is the longest its gone untreated. I dont want to harm my baby but i dont want anymore damage to occur. i really just want to know what other people with glaucoma did when they were pregnant?

This is much too serious a question to be answered here.

You should be contacting your Dr., who in turn will get info needed from an opthalmologist.

You need fast professional help, from someone who knows your actual case...

Good luck to you...and please don't delay...rant and scream for service if you have to.
