are you getting headaches alot?

[Sophie_P]

I seem to have one everyday, sometimes I wake up with it and it lasts until I go to sleep at night and does not shift even after a nap. Should I be concerned? Does this mean i'm not drinking enough fluids? I take a litre bottle to work full of water and re fill it up at work and then a few glasses of water when I get home.
Also, i've noticed when I have a bad migraine I have bad nausea. Can someone help me.

I can't say I have an answer- however try upping your fluids to see if that helps- if drinking extra litres doesn't help maybe ask your midwife?

I don't get headaches- and when I do I know it's because I'm dehydrated- dehydration headaches are usually more the back of the neck area apparently?

I have the headaches near my temples or behind my eye. It's always one side x

I don't know any cure Sophie but I have had loads of headaches as well. I hope that they settle soon for you xxx

My friend has suffered like this and midwife told her even tho she thinks she's drinking a lot she's still not drinking enough and ordered her to drink half a pint every 4 hours - try that and hope it helps. Get some gel patches too xx

I never get headaches and although mine aren't as bad as yours I have been getting them pretty regularly. I
Read that they were a pregnancy side affect due to all the hormones. I hope they ease soon for you xxx

 

[Mummy2toddler]

Yes I get them pretty much every day too especially in this weather x

 

[hayes]

I never use to get them unless i wasnt drinking enough b4 pg, but now im really careful to drink lots and i still seem to get them alot im hoping its the hormones.

I've woke up with another one! I'm going insane!

I was having daily headaches up until 20 weeks. Paracetamol really helped and mw said I could take that 4 times a day if I needed it. Never needed to take it more than once. Resting also helped but difficult to do! If I ignored it too long it would develop into a full blown migraine with blurry lines in that affected eye. I used to think I was having a stroke! They checked my bp a few times and its been fine, so just the hormones.

im getting a lot of light headedness when i try to have an active moment. having to sit back down a lot. this causes me headaches. and also stress. paracetamol and water are my friend this week.

 

[Sophie_P]

How much paracetomol can you take? Didn't know this

 

[jojo3972]

Sorry about the headaches Sophie its summet I always suffer in pregnancy and u can take paracetamol as normal they won't do any harm at all xx

 

[Potternutter]

I've had them sophie, my preg book says its normal- I think this heat might have something to do with it too. Paracetamol works though!

I have issues with headaches. Think the heat is causing them at the moment though. Am trying to drink lots to keep them at bay, but I do worry about taking painkillers too often.
