Should I ring midwife?

So I didn't go to work today. I felt dizzy yesterday and just general spaced out feeling. Just figured I was tired.

Then got a headache all night.

Decided not to go in and rest. I have slept a lot, but have this constant headache. I am drinking plenty, eating (although feel a bit queasy)

I still feel spaced out, can't shift headache. Am I being daft? I would have to ring her on mobile cos community office closes at 3pm.

How far gone are you?

Headaches can be indicative of pre-eclampsia if you're in tri 3 iirc, but are pretty normal in tri 1 and are usually just hormonal.

Good luck :)

PS I would absolutely ring the MW if you're worried, that's what they're there for :)

They'll always say they rather you rang for nothing than ignored something (if that makes sense!)

Rang and got checked out. I am 24 weeks. BP was high for me, but not dangerous
