What part of your head?

My advice as someone who gets alot of headaches would be to drink a lot of water like a Stanley bottle full lol. If that doesn’t help make a coffee and drink that, the caffeine should help lol. I’d say make a Dr appt if it lasts a couple days for sure. I have headaches and always before I get my period I’ll have a horrible headache for like two days and eventually it goes away lol

It could be a migraine.
You could try forhead rub or gel strips to help relax the muscle in your head.

Have a little lie down in the dark if possible

After pregnancy I now have 15 more headache a month and migraines where I barely can see and can’t have noise or light without horrible pressure and feeling of throwing up. No medicine touches it. Finally am getting test done Ik my blood work came back pretty bad lacking a lot of iron and d and thyroid issues. I regularly see my chiropractor cause I do sleep bad on my neck and can cause headaches. But if you are getting them a lot I’d advise seeing a chiropractor and getting blood work done.

How has your blood pressure been at ur appointments? Headaches that don’t go away can sometimes be a sign of pre eclampsia.

It sounds like a chronic tension headache best thing is drink lots of water and put a heating pad on your neck and shoulders it’s usually due to built up tension from stress and other life factors

Seems like blood pressure related, please get checked asap.

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
