* Sudden onset of headache that wont go away.
* Cramping above your pubic bone.
* Increase in mucous in your nose.
* Getting clogged up with a sudden cold.
* Fluid retention when you haven't had any.

A lot of those are just things that tend to happen in later pregnancy anyway because as the baby grows they run out of room and things don't work quite right any more.

I am concerned about your having a headache that won't go away and retaining fluid. I think you need to call your doctor right away to make sure you're not developing preeclampsia. With pre-e you can also get a pain in your abdomen that may feel like heartburn to you but it's not. For peace of mind, I would def. give them a call to be on the safe side.
