Pregnant, Headache, Sensitivity To Light, Stomach Cramps, Lower Back Pain. Normal?
hi, i am 36 weeks pregnant and all through my pregnancy i have had problems, however the hospital doesn t want to know. over the last few days i have had a sharp pain in the back of my head, which is causing me horrible headaches and making me sensitive to light, ive also had stomach cramps and lower back pain , i do suffer with Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction , however this is a new pain to which i am now aware of. i am very tired, cant seem to keep much food down or sleep, i am also very swollen around my ankles and wrists. is this all normal for late pregnancy, or should i go see my doctor? thank you in advance.

thank you.some thing is necessary to know.are you on regular antenatal check up,your last recorded blood pressure & presence of albumin in urine.there may be some swelling at leg during this time but severe swelling in not expected.at that time exclusion of pre eclampsia is very necessary for you & your fetus.you must consult your doctor urgently.
