Prolonged headaches in 2nd trimester

[Spingroll16]

Hi all ,

First time mum here, so I apologise for all the questions!

However, for the past week or so I've been getting headaches that last 2-3 days. I'm currently on my 2nd day of a headache. Feeling really sluggish, and not really wanting to do anything.

Drinking plenty of water and eating as normal, but I've read online prolonged headaches are a cause for concern. How long is 'prolonged' ? I just don't know!

I'm at my midwife appointment next week for my 25 week check up, and I feel a bit daft as I keep asking her lots of questions and generally being a pest. I've not had an easy ride so far, so would like to just see her next week and not bother her til then!

I'd ring the midwives on the number in the front of your notes (or whereve youtlr notes have them) and ask... Best to be sure and get your medical advice from them.

Always told longer than a normal headache to call... Hope all is well with you

i had the same problem, headaches lasting a week sometimes. it's normal and passes after a few weeks. try wearing some head cooling patches they really helped me!
