is anybody else suffering with constant headaches and if so does anybody know why are they common or should i go to the mw?

I have just googled and come up with this, Early Pregnancy. Headaches are very common in early pregnancy, and are most often caused by pregnancy hormones and the dilation of veins in the brain. Sometimes they're also due to stress, tiredness or dehydration, so drink plenty of water and grab a rest whenever you can.

Later pregnancy


Later on, headaches can be associated with high blood pressure, as you mentioned, so it's important to get it checked regularly and mention any headaches to your midwife.

Your eyes change in pregnancy, too. So if it's been a while since you had your vision tested, make an appointment with the optician. If taking two paracetamol doesn't cure a headache, speak to your GP or midwife.


I hope this helps hun xxx

i work in optical and we dont offer eye examinations during pregnancy because as you mentioned your eye sight changes during this time but i have 6-6 vision so i know any changes would be small so its not my eyes thankfully .. but my mum had high blood pressure with all us girls and developed pre-eclampsia with us all aswell so i will check with my midwife thanks for your help Naynay much appreciated

How did it go pecan, I had headaches all through my 2nd trimester with my last and seem to be heading that way again this time

Midwife said its due to the rise in hormones and the extre blood flow also that not getting enough fluids can cause them to be quite severe lol

I had headaches/migraines all though me pregnancy and still get them now Really should get my eyes tested!
