Can you describe your symptoms more in-depth, as "illusions" and "hallucinations" are very, very different from one another. Your doctor will want to know more what you are experiencing, instead of a "self-diagnosis" of terms.

To answer your question, it is very common for women to have changes in vision during pregnancy, due to hormones, circulation and other bodily changes.

However, it is important to call your OB/GYN as soon as their office opens after the holiday break (or, go to the E.R. if your symptoms become worse or severe), as some of the symptoms you describe may also be warning signs of preeclampsia:
* double vision
* blurry vision
* sensitivity to light
* temporary loss of vision
* seeing spots or flashing lights
