Severe Headache!

Has anyone else suffered with headaches during early pregnancy? I woke up at 1.30am this morning needing the loo and as soon as I stood up had the most severe headache. It made my eyesight blurry and threw me off balance! Same thing happened when I woke up again at 4.30am for the loo and at 6.30am to go to work. Called NHS Direct and they told me just to relax in a well ventilated room and see how I go. Although my head feels better still got a headache that I cannot shift!!!

I got severe migraines at about 6weeks. Couldn't see, my head felt like it was going to explode. Luckily, I haven't had one since, so the may subside. Trouble is, theres nothing any of us can take at the moment :(xx
thanks for all of your replies, have been asleep for most of the day in the hope that it might go away but still there :( think I will see how I feel tomorrow and go from there xx

If the headache persist, I think you should consult your GP. Best wishes and hope all goes well.

yeah I have been suffering with really bad headaches too, sometime they are so bad that I can't lift my head off the pillow, as far as I know it is just one of the wonderful side effects of being a mommy to be!! x
