Sudden headache at 37 weeks

It was my baby shower yesterday and it was also 22 degree heat so I put the headache down to the heat.

Got in bed to go to sleep and woke up at 1am with my head pounding, took paracetamol and went back to sleep. Woke up again at 4am head still pounding but managed to go back asleep. My head is still pounding now and I feel like I could throw up. I've text my midwife for some advice. But I feel a bit panicked if I'm honest because the headache isn't subsiding at all and I feel rotten

You need to see your midwife for a urine test and blood pressure check- can you call delivery?

@FrancisSeaton do I just call triage?

Yes, call whatever urgent number you have on your notes. You need to speak to a midwife immediately, so if that means ringing triage or labour ward, whatever, ring them.
