Savage headaches

Anyone else had really bad headaches? Even before the heatwave. I am 17 weeks but have been having them for the last 2/3 weeks. I don't know which is worse, the nausea I used to have or this 🙈

Sammmeee! My nausea had gone and I was so happy! Only for it to be replaced with constant bad headaches! I’m currently 16 weeks and had it for the past 2 weeks 😩
Taking paracetamol which the midwife said is safe to have

Thank you for all your messages, it's good to know I'm not alone! I have taken paracetomol but it doesn't always seem to help. Will definitely try Forehead.

I have the same problem. Get very frequent headaches/migraine. And in my case paracetamol hardly helps. I had asked my midwife if I could take Alka Seltzer XS for just once. And she approved it. She said it’s safe as long as it is not consumed everyday in large quantities. Definitely check with your midwife but don’t shy away from taking meds to help yourself. Take care!

I’ve had really bad headaches this week , wondering if it could possibly be the weather! Xx

Yeah paracetamol doesn’t help me either ☹️ nothing does, it’s like the worst headaches ever! And I’ve been drinking around 2-3L of water a day, so it’s not dehydration or the weather as it started before the weather got this hot. So must just be hormones. I’ve never suffered from them before, pre-pregnancy. Xx

I'm 18+5. I'm expecting the same thing I got so scared I even went to A&E but they said it's normal. The headaches are excruciating though.

Force yourself to drink at least 2.5 litres of water a day, its hard, but i do think it helps somewhat x

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
