Hi there,
I’m currently in my 3rd pregnancy over a 5 months period. The first one ended up in miscarriage at the end of week 6, the second one also ended in early miscarriage in the 4th week, which started one day after a positive pregnancy test.
In both cases, the day the bleeding started I experienced an intense headache on one side of my head, no disturbed vision, flashing or dizziness, just really uncomfortable pain one one side for most of the day. The first time the headache started after I noticed the spotting, the second time the headache lasted all day without any other signs and spotting started at night.
It might just have been a coincidence and I cannot find anything online suggesting headaches alone can be a sign of miscarriage, but I’m at the end of my 5th week this time and a similar headache to the previous two times started a few hours ago and I’m now freaking out even if I haven’t observed bleeding.
Anybody out there had experiences of this and noticed a correlation? I hear headaches are pretty common in pregnancy so hoping it’s all it is, but I am getting really freaked out, fearing the worst and can’t imagine this kind of stress to be good to the unborn baby.
I’d love to hear from some other people.
Thank you so much.
