Im currently 16 weeks pregnant and have had migraine headaches, dizziness and blackouts like I am going to faint and I also feel like im going to vomit. I also get bad cramps in my lower stomach and they are very painful, I have had these cramps since I was 4 weeks but they dont come as often as they did before. Could you please help me thankyou :?

Id check with the doctor if I were you, just to make sure somthing isnt wrong. But everyones different, maybe thats just how your body recacts to pregnancy at first, maybe its tryin to ajust? Ask ur mum n c if she had the same thing...Hope I helped :)

Sounds like preeclampsia. You need to get checked out immediately.

that's what I was gonna say - go straight to the doctors or if you can't make an appointment for soon (as in like the next 12 hours) then go to the emergency room. I know this might be overreacting, but pre-eclampsia can be extremely dangerous to mother and baby - if untreated it could lead to death. It's better to be safe than sorry, the staff at the hospital/doctors won't mind at all.
