Headaches in pregnancy

[LucieB]

I am now 14 weeks and have been suffering from bad headaches every day for the past week. Don't remember getting this when pg with ds - anyone else suffering or has suffered with this and any tips?

I got these at around that time too. I hadn't suffered them either when pg first time. They stopped not long after, I think 2-3 weeks.
Unfortunately I think it's just another common ailment of being pg.

Pop to your GP and get your blood pressure checked. I had these, everything was OK and he gave me a prescription for paracetamol (which were then free!). Like Eefs, they only lasted a couple of weeks.

Try sniffing lavender oil, that used to help with my ordinary headaches. (Is sniffing lavender OK in pregnancy?)

Ditto Eefs and Soupdragon. They should wear off soon Lucie. (Paracetamol are allowed during pregnancy, so don't suffer.) A gorgeous baby at the end more than makes up for it.

Hi LucieB, I am 15 weeks and have also been suffering, I had them first time round with DD and the midwife said to drink more fluids, it may be a sign of dehydration, I have them again, usually around mid morning, so I just eat eat and eat and then usuaully sleep it off, this usually works for me, if yours are constant I would recommend getting your bp checked out - good luck

Can't speak from personal experience but my SIL suffered terribly from migranes throughout her 1st pregnancy with DS - so bad so she couldn't get out of bed for 2 days at a time.
However, she has since had DD and had no similar symptoms at all.

She did have a extremely large cyst on her ovary at the time so i don't know whether this would've had anything to do with it....................

Not much help i know but just thought i'd share.
