Are my headaches from low blood pressure?

Nearly 27 weeks pregnant on my 4th child and getting severe headaches, could this be High Blood pressure?

• I'm 28 and nearly 27weeks pregnant on my 4th child and i have started suffering from severe headaches? As well as the headaches occasionally get spotting or blobbing with my vision as well, in my last pregnancy i suffered High Blood Pressure and i am wondering whether it was likely for this to happen again, i was about 34 weeks when they took me in to hospital with it on my last pregnancy, at the moment i am 26weeks plus 5days, at 25weeks my BP was fine but i wasn't suffering headaches then! My sickness also seems to have returned, i do not know if this is linked with High BP! I will defiantly be visiting the Doctors in the morning just to get the situation checked out but was looking for some advice in the meantime.

• Answer:

  If you had high bp before i would be concerned about it. As early as you are in your pregnancy, you could develop preeclampsia. Since you are aware this is a possibility, definately take it easy and do whatever you can to relax and try to get the headaches to stop. If your blood pressure turns out ok, i hope you can get some remedies for the headaches, pregnancy is hard enough to deal with!
