Preeclampsia??

Question

36+5 wks & today I have a severe headache. I tried some Tylenol but it didn't work. I've literally been curled up in bed ALL day. When I do get up, it's like my head weighs a ton & I can't wait to lay down again. Anyone else have this in the 3rd trimester? I had high blood pressure last week for the 1st time & have my next doctor appt tomorrow. Really hoping this isn't preeclampsia! 😩

Answer

I've been having severe headaches since about 30 weeks. I was told it's mostly hormonal. I did have high blood pressure at my last appointment but they didn't seem concerned. Try Tylenol, a cup of coffee or caffeinated pop and then drink a Gatorade. The combo of Tylenol, caffeine and hydration usually knocks mine out if I catch them when they start.

Answer

Did you end up having it? I am going through the exact same thing right now and my appt isn’t until next week
