headaches

[youngmumtobe20]

i've been getting a headache everyday for the last week! normally i just ignore them, but they make me so tired and its like my eyes hurt too. i dont wana take too many paracetamols for obvious reasons so i've just been putting up with them, but its starting to make me feel a bit down as i cant sleep well either. is this all down to hormones or should i give it another week and go to the docs if it doesnt change

i get them all the time.. i got down to 1 last week.. but since saturday ive had one very day...just take paracetamols... they dont harm you or the baby..if u have to take 2 every day that doesnt matter...i try not to take more than 4 in one day.. but u can safly take 8 in a day..

if you were a bit later on, i would say contact your MW or GP as this is a classic sign of pre-eclampsia.
as you still have a long way to go, it is probably hormonal or something as simple as the sun.............nhs direct have a very helpful website and they give great advice over the phone.
if you are still worried, best to see your doc

I started to suffer from really bad headaches and I mentioned it to my midwife...

She told me to cut out sugar from my diet as much as I could because that could have been one of the reasons for the headaches as I had some glucose in my water. Anyway I cut out as much sugar as possible and I haven't had a headache since

I get really bad headaches in the morning and it lasts for about 10 mins before it goes away - but not really sure what causes it

I had a tension headache all day yesterday and felt pants. It makes me panic as i did suffer high BP in my first pregnancy. I lay on the sofa all day feeling sorry for myself, and finally when it cooled down outside I went for a 20 min walk, even though I wasn't feeling up to it. I came back feeling much much better so sometimes little things like that help! Hope you feel better soon xx
