Headache, seeing stars and general feeling unwell.
This morning i woke up with a headache and a very sore neck, i jumped in the shower and stood under the hot water for about 10 mins and that seemed to help. When i got out of the shower after drying my hair i felt dizzy and i saw some stars so got dressed and laid back in bed. After a short time i got out and watched some tv with DD.
As the day progressed i felt one of my awful migraines coming on so started seeing fuzzy lines and felt my head start to pound, the inlaws were here so i kept it all to myself didn;t want to worry anyone so just took some pain killers and stayed on the couch. I started to get very very tired so when they left i went straight to bed. Slept solidly for a few good hours but woke up with pains down my legs so got up. Still feeling absolutely awful, i just pottered around the house. Been drinking a lot of water, feeling very thirsty and feel like no matter how much i drink its not enough.
DP suggested a walk to the shops as i was feeling quite sore to try loosen up. I felt ok walking down, the usual aching on the way back. Now sitting here i am seeing stars, my head is starting to throb and just feel down right not well.
My mum is on her way back from wagga so i can't call her up and ask her opinion.
Should i call up the hospital or just take some more pain killers and rest?
PS my blood pressure has been absolutely perfect at every check up.
LMS- I hope things are ok.
To me it sounds like a BP headache, either high or low the headaches are similar. (I've had both in pregnancy) fingers crossed it's not too serious....
Thinking of you. Fwiw I have had a nasty flu that started and ended with splitting headaches, sore neck dry throat, and feeling ****! if you're dehydrated, then a hit shower can play havoc on you bp.
Blood pressure was 135/87 which normally its been around 120/60 so slightly elevated. Due to history of high BP at the end of DDs pregnancy (200/160 and there abouts) i've been told to make an antenatal appointment for wed/thurs to be checked if still around the 135/87 or higher im being induced, the OB i saw today sees no reason to try medicate when im term.
BUT
While waiting for the OB i had a doozey contraction, went to go pee and lost my plug so an internal was done and i'm 2cms dilated and she could touch his head So either way the OB says ill be having a baby this week!!
Keep up fluids, dehydration is a mega cause for headache but Im sure you know that
Foot massage can help. Just check a map of your foot on Google 1st you don't wanna push anywhere you shouldn't.
I get headaches from my allergies that last weeks so I sympathize totally. Hope it clears soon.
Yay for new babys coming
Sorry if it doesn't make sense, the barefoot princess is covering me with kisses
