I’m 18 weeks now and I’m today have struggled badly with mixing up words. I even tried putting my sons coat on. Just quite a bit of confusion. Constantly tired and I’ve had a headache nearly everyday now for about a week. Third pregnancy.

Any input would be great ladies xx

I had the confusion with my first and am now entering it again while pregnant with my second. I cried in a petrol station because I couldn't remember my pin and today have mixed DH and DS's names up constantly. I remember it being like a fog in my head that I couldn't get through. The midwife told me it was completely normal and I think it went first time round after a few weeks but it was pretty horrible on bad days.

Some forgetfulness is normal, I'm not sure that is what the op is describing. Constant headaches are not normal. Can you go and see your midwife?

I’ve done the same with my PIN number but I fell odd today. Yano like somethings now quite right. Maybe I’m being paranoid but I don’t know x

Anaemia? I had terrible headaches/migraines and dizzy spells when pregnant with dc2, and I was also very aneamic. I found out quite far down the line that headaches can be a symptom of anaemia.
