Headaches during late pregnancy

Therefore, it is recommended to pay more attention to rest, relax and reduce stress in the late pregnancy to avoid insomnia symptoms. When you have a headache in the late pregnancy, you can massage your head appropriately and go out to relax.

If the headache is caused by a head injury, or if you experience symptoms such as vomiting, blurred vision, and confusion, you need to go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

5. It is best to have a lighter diet. The intake of fruits and vegetables can be increased, but you must not restrict your intake just because you are pregnant. You need to take in adequate nutrition, but the nutrients must be balanced and comprehensive. Drink plenty of water and get 6 to 7 hours of sleep every day.

Pregnant women have weak bodies, so they need to do some exercises to strengthen their bodies. After all, the body is the basis of everything. If you lose your health, everything else is meaningless. While exercising, don't forget to eat. A reasonable and healthy diet can provide pregnant women with a variety of nutrients and improve their resistance, so many symptoms will be less likely to occur in them.
