[budge]

[budge]

[Nic'n'Keeley]

i've drank loads of water and tried gettin in the bath to relax literally it will go away pnce i take the pills but come straight back once they wear off its a nightmare

 

[budge]

aww best get checked out then . you're so close to your due date .

phone up and see what they say. i bet they tell you to go in . Best to though . be on the safe side. No one will remember you itchy feet chick.

I would say get yourself checked out, but in the meantime, you could try what I did when I was pg (I refused to take ANY medication during my pregnancy...not even paracetamol). What I did was take a scarf (one that's not too wooly otherwise it will itch) and tied it really tight around my head like a 70s headband lol...the pressure from the scarf relieved some of the pain from the headache.

thanks for all your advice i phoned nhs direct and they said because i don't have any swelling or blurred bision and have sstill been feeling the baby move to just take some more pills and try a cold compress then ring my doctor in the morning to be checked over

hi just thought i'd let you know what's happening.... last night my head aches got that bad i couldn't have any light's on and had a cold flannel on my head all nite
so first thing this morning i went to the walk in centre and they sent me to the daily assessment centre where i had blood tests done for pre-esclampsia again but the good news is it all came back as clear and when i was being monitored the midwife saw i was having tightenings so could be soon
