I'm 15+5 weeks pregnant and have been getting 2/3 headaches a week. Pretty bad ones, should I mention to midwife tomorrow? bp has been fine so far.

No, not being sick. Peeing quite a lot though.

its not just about peeing.

How much water you drink per day? try to keep track of that.

Also look at your pee color, it should be clear or very very pale yellow.

try to up your water intake and see if you see any improvement in how you feel.

My headaches were just caused by that. By increasing water intake I felt just much more better, not only in terms of headaches.

Could just be due to hormones. I got headaches when due/on my period & I've suffered on & off with them since pregnant. Try water, breathing Vicks, rest/sleep in dark quiet room & paracetamol is ok to take

I have been suffering from these too. Upping my water intake has helped hugely- especially in the mornings I find.

I spoke to my midwife and didn't really get a reaction apart from "still?"
Bp was "beautiful" I think that means normal!
Urine fine, all results from booking appt were fine. Maybe it is fluid need or hormones.
Oh well.
