im 15 + 4 and the last week has been wonderful, the nausea/sickness its wearing off :) i thought it never would.

however i still cant get over that i smell everything and most things make me feel bad, do you know when this will pass?

the last 2 weeks ive had a non stop headache? sometimes just a normal headache that is almost copable, then it turns into a migraine which throws me off. is it normal to get headaches in pregnancy.?

i just dont think i can cope with these headaches for much longer.

any advice is appreciated :)

I had headaches but they went quite early on iirc. You can take paracetamol. I found a thing where it's like a stick that you rub on your forehead...provides instant relief and ok to use while pg. Think it might be called 4head?

Congratulation btw!

Super-smell might pass, it might not. Mine went away about 15 weeks. In the meantime maybe carry a tissue scented with some sort of oil that smells ok to you? Depends what you hate the smell of- personally it was food and people I couldn't bear, but synthetic smells like Olbas oil were ok.

Headaches are normal in early pregnancy, it's all those hormones apparently. Mine went about 18 weeks iirc.

Yep sounds normal to me, i'm the same at the moment 15 weeks everything smells strong (unlucky for me as my 16 month old a v+d yuckk!!!!).
Head aches Fluffy is right they are more likely to be hormone head aches although most of mine have been due to not drinking enough water and dehydration.
I cant remember the strong smells lasting all the way through my last pregnancy only time it came back with avengence was when i was in active labour when my partner was eating all my snacks in my face proper smelled and it was choclate but aparently theres a time chocolate smells too strong too!
good luck look after your self and congrats!
