For the last few weeks I have had such a hard pregnancy!

On Thursday I started to have stomach cramps and lower back pain I was told to go to the hospital who advised I was not in labour & to watch my symptoms & if i go worse to call.

I have felt ok Saturday - Monday afternoon but then I got a really bad headache & felt sick and dizziness.

I have been taking paracetamol every 4 hours , tried to sleep it off, have some sugar and increased my water intake but my headache hasn't budged. About 2 weeks ago I was told that the baby was growing 5 weeks ahead on the growth scan & will be rescanned in 2 weeks time. I have been to the hospital and doctor so much the last few weeks I don't want they to think I'm a hypochondriac- this is baby number 2 & my first pregnancy was not this complicated at all. Please help? What should I do? Call the GP or hospital - or does it just should like another pregnancy symptom

How far along are you?

A persistent headache can be a sign of pre-eclampsia so I would get down the hospital and demand to be checked out. They would rather check than miss a problem.
