    Rash and a slight headache = signs????

    Throughout my pregnancy, my BP has been normal - no problems whatsover and I recently went for a glucose test and since no one from the hosp called, I'm assuming that I'm doing ok. Will find out for sure this 17/7 when I go for my check up. But I recently got some rashes on my neck and have been having this slight nagging headache when I close my eyes tightly. I never use to get any of these and was wondering if it meant anything....it could be nothing n just my paranoia acting up on me....but what say you? Anyone had this happen to them before coz I heard that rashes could be one of those signs...then again, I could have been mislead.

    I'm really not sure. So your next checkup is on Tuesday? I would definitely ask about it all then, but if the headaches or rash get worse before then I'd be giving the hospital a call. Sorry I can't help more than that. I hope it clears up!

    I would give them a call if I where you.

    But I would also have a think about if you have eaten something new to you, or taken new vitamins etc.
    Plus do you have the flu, the one going around comes with a nasty headache.

    Maybe your headache is due to the pressure of the extra blood pumping around your pregnant body? Not sure about the rash, keep an eye on it though.

    Checkup with doc went fine, thanks Linda. Asked him abt the headache/strain n he said that with my BP ok, it could be strain from using my glasses. Need to get my classes checked now. As for the rash, its gone now so good riddance!!
