HI,
Thanks for the query. I have read & understood your query.
Severe head ache & weight gain in pregnancy suggests rise in blood pressure with swelling on limbs/ body.
You should consult your treating doctor immediately / move tro ER for prompt medication.. in case doctor's appoint is not available early.
Taking bed rest/ avoid stress/ eat less of salt in diet.should be your personal care apart from medicines advised.
Thanks.
