Headache help please

[reallyoldmum]

Hi

I am sitting here in terrible pain - I have had a mild headache for a few days but to be honest I suffer really badly when I'm not pregnant so I havent been too worried I've just made sure I have drunk more water and used a forehead stick - I was able to keep it under control until last night - but it has now got so bad I have been waking up on the hour it seems with the strength of the pain. I am sitting here with cold compresses on my head and am beginning to be a little bit worried.

Has anyone else experienced anything else like this? I have tried paracetamol and thats not working so any other suggestions would be much appreciated. Do you think I should go to the doctors?

awww hun im the same with headaches i usually take co codomol when not pg and find paracetamol useless now the only thing that helps is sleeping it off for me when it gets too bad def go to the doctors and see if theres anything else you can have xxxxxxxxx

Managed to get an appointment at 12.00, keep on being sick and feeling pretty rotten but hopefully they will be able to give me something. I am pretty sure now its a migraine but I cant take my normal medication I dont think..

Thanks for your support ladies x x

The doctor was great - although they couldnt do anything really they did check my blood pressure and urine - it is definately a migraine (I do suffer normally but have great medication which of course I cant take) - we agreed that I didnt want to put the baby at any risk so I am going to ride it out with just paracetamol and sleep I need to go back on Monday if it is no better!! I have slept most of the afternoon and it now feels more like a normal headache so I am hopeful it will ease over the next 24 hours......

Thanks for your best wishes everyone
