According to the website BabyCenter, the pushing and straining during labour can cause the blood vessels and capillaries in your eyes to burst, leading to bloodshot eyes. The website says that bloodshot eyes are "generally harmless"and tend to resolve within two weeks. However, they say that if you are experiencing any pain, changes in vision or mucous, you should seek medical attention. For treatment postpartum, BabyCenter recommends over the counter artificial tears, using a cold compress for 10 minutes every day, avoiding irritants like pet dander, smoke and pollen, using clean towels and pillowcases and focusing on rest and sleep. In the comments, it seemed Bethany wasn't the only one who experienced eye swelling in labour. One person wrote: "I popped a bunch of blood vessels in my eyes from pushing so hard." Another said: "Omg my eyes bled because I pushed so hard. I looked so scary."@clydestinks69 My doctor said, “wow, I’ve never seen this happen before! ??” but now I have miss Phoebe ? & yes, my eye went back 6 weeks later ? #greenscreen #fyp #babiesoftiktok #pregnanttiktok #pregnant ♬ original sound - ?
