Headaches towards the end of pregnancy

Have you been sleeping okay? I've had pre-eclampsia checks as well due to headaches swelling and pain under my ribs but it was bad acid reflux and lack of sleep (due to pelvic girdle pain). I found co codamol in small doses, going to bed earlier and trying to get some more sleep has helped

no I haven’t actually, hardly sleeping at night at all, and when I do eventually fall asleep I’m up so much to go toilet or to move which is a mission in itself😩🤣. Hadn’t really considered my sleep having an affect, thank you xxx

You could be dehydrated, it’s surprising how much I am sweating at the moment I need to drink even more than the 2l I was trying to drink x

@danielle not long to go so hopefully little one will make an appearance!
Whilst I am not one for napping, that might be another solution. I've eased my workload and that has also helped with reducing my blood pressure and reducing my headaches xx

again I hadn’t even thought about that! Thank you! I’m so hot at the moment too🤣 I need the window open and fan on all night and even then I’m still half out the duvet xx

I often wake up and have thrown the duvet off of myself! We still have the summer tog duvet on the bed 😂 x

I got checked at triage a few weeks ago for headache and visual disturbances and felt very stupid when she asked me how much water I had drunk 🫠 x

me too🤣 someone said to me having a baby in your tummy is like having your own personal radiator at all times 🤣xx

I am constantly a sweaty mess when I’ve got anything more than underwear on!

I’m 39 + 4 and have for the past week had them aswell sometimes lasting days. Have had my blood pressure checked and is fine, my midwife did say to contact if I had any more as things can change very quickly! I’ve been all night with another one last night and started with sickness but from reading the comments I hadn’t actually thought about the lack of water I have been drinking 🙈 I honestly feel like the longer I’m pregnant my body is just giving up 😂 x

I’m the same, got sickness aswell, I feel you there with body giving up, i underestimated how tough these last weeks were 🤣😭

I hope you’re feeling ok now? Fingers crossed baby doesn’t keep you waiting much longer xxx

It’s awful isn’t it!! Felt so positive throughout but the waiting around is hard enough without all these added symptoms!

Yes feeling abit better now thankyou! I hope yours doesn’t either and things get abit easier. Hopefully not much longer and it will all be worth it 🤞 xx
