why am i so tired with headaches all the time?

[mamaLou13]

I am33+2 weeks preg and for about a week now i have been absolutly shattered constantly and i have got headaches aswell now . You dont think its anything too serious do you? I have got a livley 2.5 year old to deal with as well.

Where are the headaches? At the front?

umm i am not quite sure to be honest yes possibly why what does that mean?

low iron.... betcha - ask for a blood test at the doc and get on some iron tablets.

Frontal headaches can be a sign of pre-eclampsia. Could equally be iron deficiency like kbear says. You should see your GP/midwife for a check up and some bloods just to check you're ok.

ok thank you i will do. Do the headaches have to be bad and constant for it to be sign of pre-eclampsia and isn't it also combined with high blood pressure? Because my blood pressure is quite low and i have a bit of a headache now and it is not that intense and it is on both sides of my head above my temples. I don't think i should have low iron i do take vitamins and had a blood test not too long ago and the results i assume were ok as they have not re-checked me or given me anything. I will double check at my next appointment though.

I don't know a huge amount, it was just something they said to keep an eye on at my last appointment. Make sure you're staying well hydrated too. My MW said you need to drink double your normal intake when pregnant!

Are you drinking loads? My midwife said 80% of Headaches during pregnancy are caused by dehydration
