Is it age?

[CapricornAquarius]

Im really not enjoying this so far, ive got no energy to do anything, ive been getting the worst headaches, is it going to get easier or am I doomed for the next 7mths, im putting it down to age, im 37.

Anyone else feel the same?

I think the older you are, sometimes, the harder it is on your body. That and you have 2 children to take care of and lots of stuff to do, I'm sure so that takes a toll on the body.

Yes that makes sense to me.

I had horrible headaches with DS 1 and DS 3, but not with DS 2 and 4! With DS 3 I had migraines every day for weeks and it was a total nightmare. DS 1 I had the worst morning sickness. Sometimes I think it's the individual pregnancy, altho I was tireder with the second two (late 30's) than with the first two, but I was working with DS 3 and had a little baby with DS 4.

Honestly atomic its really terrible, they are more like migraines, my mum is getting worried that im taking panadol every four hours, but I just cant cope without them & even then ive still got the headache it doesnt take it away completely, just dulls it, its been non-stop for the past five days, im going to the docs tomorrow.

Im relieved im not the only one experiencing this, was kind of getting worried.

So sorry to hear about your headaches. I'm 38 and having them also. I didn't with my first 2 pregnancies. I hope it will get better in the next trimester. I read that they are caused from the increased amount of hormones. After 10 weeks I think our hormones are supposed to level off some. Hope you feel better soon!

I don't think it's age, I get low energy and headaches with my pregnancies.
I am 28
Lots of water and rest hun

Thanks Tinyd & Lbam, I went to docs today, he took my blood pressure its fine and he said the same thing, some women get headaches, some dont, a womans body goes through alot of changes in the first trimester & it should settle in the second tri, fingers crossed. He also asked me if I got headaches before being pregnant and yes I get them just before AF, thats another reason why I'd be more prone to getting them while pregnant.
