Yes! At least call labor and delivery. Severe headaches that won’t go away are signs of a couple different complications that should definitely start getting treated. Best case scenario it’s none of those, and they can help treat the headache but at least you’ll know what’s going on. Better to go in and have it be nothing than to not go and have it be horrible.
I didn’t tell my doctor that I was itchy with my last one bc I didn’t feel listened too and I didn’t think it was a big deal. Turns out it’s a sign that my liver was reacting poorly to my pregnancy and I had to be emergency induced at 36 weeks when if I had gone in, they could’ve treated it and I might made it full term

Hi, I had severe headaches from the age of 4 and when I got pregnant they were really bad at first. They did pass as I got further along thank god!! If you got any other symptoms I would go to hospital to check if it not your blood pressure or ring up your maternity ward and see what they say? Hope it helps?

You could have tension in your neck? Our postures are changing massively. So if you aren’t stretching, I recommend doing so. Or going for a massage?

Thank you and I diffently go in cause when i get these headaches sometimes I can't see or my vision goes blurry or shaking

Definitely mention that to your ob or midwife. Are you taking iron supplements? I was having headaches and they stopped after I started taking iron supplements I got from my midwife

I been getting them too and I NEVER get them any other time.. days on end.. ugh

@Lexi Yeah they are terrible but my friend thinks I could be Diabetic pregnant she stated I should go get tested to see cause she ended up being Diabetic while being pregnant then it was gone after her child was born so it could be alot I'm going to the hospital cause I'm having hard time seeing

This could be a sign of preclampsia or high blood pressure and you should definitely check with your doctor.

Same here check ur sugar and blood pressure just to make sure ur not in a critical high.
