Hello
welcome to health care magic
headache during the last few weeks are to be reviewed with great care
the most common problem you will see that it is related to pregnancy induced hypertension.
if it is associated with passing lesser amounts of urine and vomiting then - please see your gynaecologist as soon as possible
Hope I have answered you question
