Preeclampsia?: New onset headache and nausea can be a sign of a serious late pregnancy complication called pre-eclampsia! go to the emergency room as soon as possible to get evaluated because your pregnancy, health and life could be at risk. A migraine can also cause the same symptoms, but would have to be a diagnosis of exclusion so close to your due date. Normal labor does not typically start this way..
