For the past week I have been experiencing headaches every morning as soon as I wake up I've tried reading up on it but I can't seem to find anything on it has anyone had similar experiences?
I can't take paracetamol as it makes me sick so I have to try and let the headache just take it's cause but it's driving me insane I can't function properly and it's the fact it's every single dayConfused

I dont know how far along you are but they are a known pregnancy symptom esp early on. Perhaps ask pharmacist for any alternative painkiller that you can take safely?

Oh yes sorry I'm 36 weeks and it's driving me insane, yeah I think I'll need to do speak to a pharmacist because trying to parent a toddler and having this awful headache doesn't mix
I would really like to know what's causing the headaches because surely having one everyday isn't normal, thanks for the reply x

I’m quite a bit further behind you at 13 weeks but I have headaches every single day. I blame sitting in front of a screen all day Long in my case. I have found that the 4head sticks help so that could be worth a try

I may be wrong but I think headaches can be a sign of high blood pressure - it’s probably not that, but I would speak to your midwife just in case.

I'll have to give the 4head stick ago thank you!
I was at my midwife last week and my blood pressure was okay she didn't seem to know why I was having the headaches, I'm back again tomorrow so I will be sure to mention it again to her
