I remember you saying in another thread recently that you'd lost a lot of weight in the span of a week... Are you eating right and taking care of yourself properly?
Also did your doc tell you what strength/dosage of vit d you should be taking? Having too much can also have some really bad side effects and generally gps will want to monitor your levels while you are trying to get it back up.

To be really honest, no i'm not because i just haven't been able to hold down anything. I have over the past couple of hours drank about 1 litre of water i started to feel really nauseas so ate dinner to see if it was because im hungry within minutes of eating i was in the bathroom.
I wasn't told what dosage no, i'm thinking a trip to the doctors is on the cards for tomorrow. I will see my GP who wasn't there on friday when i was there. I just feel so awful all the time.
the only thing keeping me going now is feeling the little flutters and a toddler who needs her mummy.

I had low vit D throughout my second pregnancy too and lived with headaches right through. My migraines though were only in the first trimester and did get a little better on the Vit D.
Also, remember.. its bloody hard being pregnant when you have another kid. Its so much more tiring than the first time. Increasing your water to insane amounts will help also. Also, look at how your sleeping.. maybe its time to get a pregnancy pillow to put your body more inline when you sleep? If you are eating, try to look at some foods that may be making your headache worse.
I also wonder if taking a magnesium suppliment would help you?Diet Headache Migraine: Foods to avoid
Top offenders:
Cheese (except cottage, farmer's, ricotta and cream), Alcohol (red wine is the worst. Watch out for flavourings (ie vanilla) which may contain alcohol), Caffeine (especially suddenly raising or lowering your intake), Chocolate, Aged and non-fresh meats and liver (ie cold cuts), -(also watch out for products with meat and hydrolyzed protein, such as gravy and soup mixes), Soy beans, Italian green beans, broad bean pods, MSG, Nuts (especially peanuts), Yeast (especially in homemade bread and sourdough), Sauerkraut (and other aged foods)

Salad Dressing, Rennet tablets, Dried fruits (including raisins), Imitation crab, Licorice, Mushrooms, Snails, Salty foods, Rhubarb, Citrus fruits, Ripe avocado, Ripe banana, Yogurt and buttermilk, Fresh raspberries, Red plums, Onions, Worcestershire or teriyaki sauce.
