Has anyone else been diagnosed wtih Bells Palsy in the last days of pregnancy?
Friday night my tongue had a burning/numbing feeling and my ears were really sensitive. The next morning I woke up and the left side of my face was numb and droopy. I went to the ER as advised by the on call dr from my obgyn’s office. They then diagnosed me with this bells palsy and prescribed me with valtrex and a eye moisturizer and I need to wear a patch over my left eye to reduced dryness. I researched online that it is fairly common in pregnant women within the last weeks/days of pregnancy. I am scheduled for a c-section this Tuesday and Im hoping after delivery it reduces. Has anyone else had this? How long did it last? How far along were you in your pregnancy?
Thanks!
I also have a very noticable lisp. How long does that part last? The ER dr said it varies person to person.
