headache from the bad place!

Hi everyone! Ok so I have had an awful headache for the last THREE days...it literally feels like someone has hit me in the head with a sledge hammer! It feels awful! Is it normal to have such a splitting headache for so long?!?

PS i'm 33 Weeks and I've taken Tylenol but it doesn't really help...

Off topic sorry, you're in the same time zone as me lol.  But hopefully all is well and it's just a really pesky headache.

I would call the labor and delivery at the hospital you plan to deliver at and tell them what's going on.  There is always an ob doc on call, and the nurses know what to do.  They may want you in for evaluation.

Wow! It's not something to go to the ER about is it? It's a little after midnight so I can't call the doctor.

When I was pregnant with my first child my bp went from 120s/60s to 194/110 in six hours.

Yea I have heard that but my blood pressure has been near perfect every doctor visit...could it just get high all of a sudden for no reason?

You might want to get your blood pressure checked.  Severe headaches can be an indicator of a high bp :-(.
