Head aches at 13 weeks

[lickencivers]

Morning

Any one any experience of head aches in pregnancy. Now 13 plus 2. Had a head ache constantly since last Tuesday across the front of my forehead and eyes. Got worse at times but since Saturday lunch time been unable to stand up due to pressure in my head and yesterday had to go out I had to cover my eyes in the car as the light so bright. I feel horrific. Called in sick to work. Woke up feeling exactly the same.

Seeing the GP at 11. Please tell me it's a bug and I'm not stuck laying down like this because it's pregnancy related?

It hurts constantly but intensifies when I stand.
My BP on Saturday was 120/70
4th pregnancy never had any thing like this before

Sorry to hear you're feeling so awful OP. Do you suffer from migraines?

No advice I'm afraid, but I'm guessing you've seen the GP by now and I hope everything is ok x

It sounds like migraine properly only say take paracetamol . And maybe get eyes tested

I suffered around this time from migraines (from about 13-15 wks) that hurt so much they made me physically sick. My advice is to take paracetamol and lay down in a dark room. I have also found making sure I'm not dehydrated (fruit ice lollies have been amazing & DH forcing me to drink when I haven't for a while) has helped a lot. I haven't had one for a few weeks and I'm 21 wks now!

Tiger balm was my saviour! Holland and Barret sell it - give it a try. I wasn't keen on keep taking paracetamol and this really helped
