Can't kick these headaches

Hi, just looking for a little advice about what may help get rid of my constant headaches! I'm 13 wks today and for the past week I've been getting them so often to the point where it's almost constant but gets worse when I climb stairs. Trying to drink loads of water and fluids but I'm up 4-5x in the night going for a pee so I'm not sleeping more than two hours in a row! 😥 Any suggestions would be much appreciated!?

When was your blood pressure last tested hun? I think you might need to just have a check up with the dr x

My midwife has said that during pregnancy, we are more susceptible to getting headaches, but she also said that if I get them too often to give her a call.

I would give your midwife a call hun, just to make sure you’re ok xx

Ah of course! I don't but I had an eye test about 6 months ago and everything was okay so I doubt it would be my eyes 😐x

Six months is recent but pregnancy could possibly have caused eye changes (its a known side effect) so it might be worth getting checked. You definitely need to get your blood pressure done again too as a month is a long time and it might not be low now. I agree you should call your midwife, or visit your gp. Hopefully they can help you x

I had only had my eyes done about a year prior. Maybe worth checking again. Pregnancy makes everything funny. Definetly give midwife a call for blood pressure too xx
