Migraine like headache at 35+2

[ShaggingProducesResults]

I've had a splitting headache since yesterday evening and nothing seems to shift it or dull the pain (Tried water, eating and taking paracetamol)

Before I make an arse of myself calling the MW and sounding paranoid (!), is this just more third trimester crappyness or something to be concerned about?

call the midwife just to be on the safe side. I went with migraine and was told it was hormonally triggered, but they were happy to see me, checked urine and BP and put my mind at ease. Best be on safe side. Have you tried those cooling strips you can get at chemist? Paracetamol unfortunately won't touch a migraine but keep your blood sugar up -lucozade is good . Hope you feel better soon x

Call the MW right now dear and have a big glass of water x

Hi.

Bit out of touch as ds is now 8.5, but think getting it checked might be a good plan (aren't headaches a possible sign of pre-eclampsia)?

yes, call your MW.
migraines are not a good sign.

Thanks for the advice. Called the MW and she sent me up to the day assessment unit to get my BP and urine checked. I feel a bit silly but I guess it's better to get these things checked out!!

much more sensible . Glad you made the call. Much better to be safe and I think any MW would agree xx hope migraine is subsiding?

Always best to seek advice if you are unsure. Puts your mind at rest and means any problems can be picked up early.

Hope you feel better soon x
