    How long til I should worry about this headache?

    I've got a little bit a of a headache today - nothing debilitating, but definitely there, since I woke up at about 10. I was a little bit dizzy when I got up, but sat down again and that has gone away.

    For now I'm just hydrating and taking it easy and seeing if it settles down. I was around a few smokers last night, which could have contributed.

    When should I get worried?

    Have you taken some panadol?

    Hope it passes for you soon.

    I wouldn't worry just yet... Hopefully it will pass after a nap or your sleep tonight. xoxoxo
    (I just had a headache for 14days straight, that started to worry me a little)

    I'd keep an eye on the dizziness, and if you start to see spots or get puffy it'd be good to get checked out

    I would have bad headahces during my pregnancy.

    I always made sure i had lots of water, took panadol and would put cold compress on my neck head etc.
    Heachaches can be common and normal due to heat,lack of water and just general pregnancy due to extra blood
    Is it a hot day where you are?
    Have you had any HBP problems during your pregnancy?

    I had a very bad headache that did not go away after panadol , i called my MW they said since it didnt go away wth panadol to come in to be checked, they gave me water to drink, checled bubs on monitor and took urine and bloods, everything was clear, slight protein in urine but they said it was normal and ok to have a little bit.
    They put it down to not enough water and how hot it was that day and i was able to go home.

    I had no other problems during my pregnancy.

    If you are worried and it doesnt go away with drinking and some panadol maybe just give them a call and see what they say

    Good luck

    I haven't had any high BP issues at all.
    It's not uncharacteristically hot, for Brissy it's quite a lovely cool November day really.
    It seems to be settling down with rest and lots of fluid.

    I was told to worry specifically about the ones that wouldn't go away with painkillers.

    Glad it's settling for you.
