I just need some reassurance - Googling keeps bringing up brain tumours and I'm hoping it's not one of those! (Seems very unlikely and I'd guess there's a good chance it's just hormonal).
I had migraines with aura (generally without pain) during the first part of both pregnancies, but now they're back (24+3). Bright lights are setting them off this pregnancy - I once looked in the oven to put some food in and the reflection on the tray started it, I had one looking and the whiteboard at uni where the bulb was particularly bright, and watching TV (in front of a window) has started several.
Words are also dancing around the page as I try to read on my phone, although it doesn't seem as bad with non-lit sources like paper.
Three out of the last four nights I've also woken with a headache. Nights one and two I had an ache in the back left side of my head, and today it was more a general ache all over my left side, more towards the middle/front. I've been drinking quite a bit of water hoping it'd get rid of it but it hasn't worked. I feel quite tired today and it may just be that I haven't slept well or that I was lying awkwardly on my pillow.
Are these pains fairly normal?
