Constant bad headache - 29 weeks

[Dede124]

Has anyone else suffered with headaches at this stage? I'm finding I need to take paracetamol almost everyday which does get rid of it but I don't like taking them
That much. I had really bad headaches around 16 weeks but they disappeared after a few weeks I think they were due to change in hormones. But should I be concerned with getting bad headaches now? Had blood pressure checked last week which was normal and the doctor has recently put me on iron tablets twice a day no sure
If that's got anything To do with it?!

You may be dehydrated which could cause the headaches? I was hospitalized for a migraine and the doctor said we should aim for 5L a day! Which is something I never do.....

The other thing is preeclampsia- make sure you mention this to your midwife. You say your blood pressure is normal but please do get it checked often, as that's definitely a symptom!

Please get your bp checked again. It's probably fine but the consequences are too serious to mess about with. I've been getting a few headaches at 27 weeks but find coffee helps even though it's not ideal.

Get your bp checked and if possible get to a day maternity unit for monitoring it probably is absolutely nothing and just hormone changes but don't risk it
