Headache/ migraine

I had a headache at 10pm last night. Took Tylenol and it hasn’t gone away. I’ve been up every two hours because the pain is excruciating down my neck. Has anyone experienced this strong of a migraine?

I feel you here, I had a migraine since early yesterday with aura (bad smells not there, light sensitivity, vomit, sound sensitivity, and metal taste. Turns out my iron was super low and it triggered a migraine. Their migraine went away after having some dates and eating an iron rich lunch

my guess is my water intake but I’ve been drinking atleast 4 bottles. Maybe low iron as well. I’m just not a fan! 😒

i’d never had migraines in my life and since pregnancy with twins, it’s nearly daily. tylenol does nothing, i’ve had to take exedrin, which has caffeine but not too much for babies. these headaches hurt my whole face and teeth even. i’m so sorry you’re going through it as well.

I've always got migraines but they're so much worse when pregnant. Especially since ibuprofen is the only drug that works for me and you can't have it pregnant. Generally if it's a new thing during pregnancy, you should keep an eye on your BP. I have found that peppermint oil can be really helpful too

Yes - I can relate! Have had the worst headaches with neck pain! I finally got a massage on Monday and told her to focus on my next and head and I think it’s helped. But I feel your pain! Was trying everything! Hot / cold packs too.

@kiki yes! The neck pain is awful. Like, have I seriously altered how I sleep so much I have constant neck pain. No one said being pregnant would be annoyingly painful. It’s okay it’s worth it.

yes happy to hear I’m not the only one! Do you have wrist pains too? I read that it’s common and I’m wondering if it’s related…so strange! The joys of pregnancy! lol

Overwhelmed!

I’m due in June with my first baby, we started saving money before I found out I was pregnant and have continued to save money however, as we’ve needed to buy lots of baby stuff, decorate her room etc, we’ve not been saving no where near as much so obviously our total amount of savings hasn’t been going up as much as we like.

We’ve just had our renewal for some bills like council tax (which has gone up) etc. I just feel really deflated and thinking how on earth are we going to survive when I’m on maternity pay 😕

I know everything will be okay but it’s just really got to me today.

Did anyone else feel like this? Was there any help or things you did to make it easier?

Baby boy is officially here 💖

Born yesterday at 39 weeks. A very fast labour. Woke up at 2.30am on the 16th to my waters leaking, contractions didn’t start till 4am and then I was 2cm dilated, at 10am my contractions were strong enough where I couldn’t talk but was only 3cm so had a sweep and was admitted into the birthing centre. By 3pm baby boy was born in the pool 💖 had a bad 2 degree internal tear but I’m so so happy I can stop looking at him

Consultant booked c section for 39+4?!

Is this normal? I recently moved house so all my care was under a different hospital who advised thinking about a section after my last birth was awful with lots of complications and ended up in theatre anyway. I chose this and was told it would be at 38 weeks, also having issues with my heart, high blood pressure and preeclampsia symptoms again. But this new consultant would only book it for then but it makes me so anxious how close that is to my due date?? Is this normal?

Growth Scan

I have a growth scan today because my fundal height measurement has stayed the same at 29cm from when I was 28+5 weeks. Now I'm 32+3. Has anyone else experienced this? It has made my growth chart go from just under 90th percentile to under 10th.
