Hiya all

brief history Im 22 weeks pg, wore glasses since i was about 3 for a lazy eye, my eyes got better and I was down to wearing them only for driving/reading/computers etc...

I have suffered with headaches most days since week 16 with this pg, told my midwife who had nothing to suggest, told my gp, suggested taking paracetemol. Consultant brushed me off (nothing new there though)

So as a last resort i went off to get my eyes tested. Optician said I have long distance sight, when i try to focus on something close up my eyes are turning in. I picked up my new glasses today and was told to wear them full time.

Ive had them on since around midday, my headache seems to be getting worse and I have started to feel sick also. Its probably just going to take some time to get used them, (I can actually see now lol)

Do you reckon the headaches will ease up eventually and me feeling sick is just my way of getting used to them??

Could headache & nausea be pg related?

my nausea seems to have eased off alot since week 16, only get it if Im hungry, Im not hungry. If i take the glasses off the pressure seems to go?!

IMO, new glasses do take some getting used to, but I wouldn't expect headaches / nausea to last very long (couple of days?). If it is still happening by the end of the weekend, I would go back to the opticians.
