NO PAIN AT ALL WHILE PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING FOR 1 MONTH.Matter of fact i felt great while pregnant.!! neuorllogist says tension/migraine type. but tried so many type of migraine meds and either didn't work or did but came back next day. tried preventive meds...DON'T WORK. feel constant pressure, but not clogged nose unless lay down. can't breath when lay down. scalp is sore to touch, bending down makes worse as well as cold temperature, and high allitudes.
Heating pad and sleep only thing that takes pain away, besides being pregnant. decongestants work sometimes. (cold/sinus tablets). allegra-d worked for 2 months then stopped. allergic to cat dander, dust, ragweed. and milk.

One cause of headache is the blood circulation in head vessels, a pregnant woman experiences many changes in her global blood circulation, this might have such effects.

I am no doctor but my guess is that you have sinus headache. I get it too and it is rotten. I use a saline spray for the nose and simple paracetamol to rid the headache. I have tried all the remedies like Claratyne, Beconaise etc but I find I become immune to them quickly. The saline (salt water) sprayed a few times a day into the nostrils consistently works for me. As to why you didn't get them during pregnancy. I don't know if you were simply pregnant away from hayfever season or the season that triggers the headaches for you...or maybe because your blood volume thickens and forces the vessels that carry the blood through your body to get larger and allow more blood through. Some headaches are caused due to restrictions in blood flow and narrowing of the vessels..those same pregnancy hormones would still have been floating about for the month after the birth. Good luck finding something to help..it is a devil of a pain.

It seems to me that your headaches are probably caused by hormones. If you get pregnant and you don't have the headaches anymore, your hormones change when you are pregnant. It is also a good idea to start writing down everything, this really helps doctors. What you ate and then how you felt, what you did and how you felt. Patterns will start to emerge the longer you keep track of these types of things.

I didn't have chronic headaches but had other aches and pains that went away while pregnant and came back soon after the baby was born. I have no clue why that happens!

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

The difference in the hormones is what causes the pains to go away during pregnancy. My oldest daughter has the exact opposite problem. She was in so much pain from headaches during her two pregnancies that she says she is never having another one.

Being pregnant, for you, was actually treating the symptom. I would recommend seeing a Chiropractor. Everything within the human body is connected to your spinal cord. You have something affecting your sinus and head which could be several different factors influencing your head aches. Give it a try.
