12 weeks and splitting headaches

[Gooseygoosey12345]

Any wonderous tricks to help? Paracetamol don't touch it. Dreading driving my DD to school tomorrow, walking is not an option as it's a 15min drive down country roads. Help I feel like cutting off my head

I had banging headaches from about 10 weeks and they didnt get better until 18 weeks ish..then they came back and havent gone since and im 24 weeks. Beyond 20 weeks they have to check for pre eclampsia, but thats the worst case. Ive just come back from the midwife and she asked about headaches, when i said i had a splitting one for about a week constant she said unless i had funny vision or swelling it wasnt an issue. My dad asked at my 16 week appointment if headaches were bad (he was fed up with me complaining im guessing) and she said its totally normal x

Oh that's good, not that you're suffering of course, but I don't have any other symptoms. I think the tiredness doesn't help. I can't believe how exhausted I've been this time! But then I've had little sickness whereas I was hospitalised last time with it so swings and roundabouts I suppose!

Oh my goodness, is there somewhere I can go to learn all the abbreviations? I've just seen OH now. What the heck does that mean? And DP?
So far I've learnt DS, DD, HG, and thankfully I already knew what GP was before I joined haha

Ignore my last comment. I just discovered the acronyms page

I didn't know there was an acronym page! I must have a look

Another vote for coke!

I had them around the same time and a can of Coke was the equivalent of a couple of ibuprofen. Miraculous.

I'm stocking up on coke today! I've not been having any caffeine at all (even bought decaf tea which is surprisingly the same in taste as regular tea) so that probably hasn't helped with the headaches!
