I know that they say if you have a persistent headache to call the doctor or labor and delivery, but why? Is there risk to the baby if you have headache that goes too long? I am just a little confused on this one right now.
I have had a headache since Sunday night, it is all in my sinuses and isn't unusual for me to get these this time of year. I see the doctor today so I will talk to him about it, but I was just curious why they say to call the doctor for persistent headaches????
Thanks
Re: Headaches - why call the doctor?
It could mean there is the onset of Pre-E. I have been having them as well and since DH is an EMT he checks my Blood Pressure every day. But it has been perfect so I am thinking its allergies. Call you DR.

I also had perfect BP until mt 37 week appointment so my doctor did bloodwork and has me monitor my BP from home. It turns out I am fine but I still check my BP if I have a headache.
Basically, even if you have had perfect BP this whole pregnancy the onset of pre-e could be sudden so do not just go by your doctor checking your BP once a week.
