Headache 38 weeks

[dinosaur17]

Morning ladies,

Just wondering if anyone has experienced lots of headaches at the end of their pregnancy?

So as not to alarm anyone it’s not pre-eclampsia related. I came home from hospital on Weds eve during which I’ve had every check/test under the sun!

It’s not dehydration as I usually drink 3-4litres of water a day, so I can only assume it’s some sort of change in hormone levels or it’s stress related. I don’t usually get headaches but at the minute I’m having to take paracetamol every 4 hours.

I'm not as far on as you (34 weeks) but I have started getting a few (currently mild) headaches - can't even remember the last time I had a headache before being pregnant! Glad you've been tested and it's nothing sinister!

I've assumed it's to do with hydration/tiredness - even though I'm drinking loads of water I still get thirsty because going to the loo so much. I also read somewhere that vision can change a bit in PG which I guess could cause headaches? No idea how true that is though.
