I'm 5 days overdue and for the last 3 days I've woken up with a headache. Today it is almost a shooting pain behind my left eye. I was really thirsty in the night so don't know if I just need to be drinking more fluids or whether it's something else. They do ease off during the day once I've had something to eat or drink (or had some paracetamol)
I've got an appointment with the midwife tomorrow morning so will mention it to her then but was just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same or knew why I keep getting them. I should probably add that I really haven't been sleeping well either so it could be that too? No other signs of pre-eclampsia (don't know about blood pressure, will get it checked tomorrow but it's always been fine at my other appointments).
