Answer 2

"Is it common to get headaches during pregnancy?
It's not unusual to get tension headaches when you're pregnant, especially in the first trimester. Tension headaches — the most common kind of headache — can feel like a squeezing pain or a steady dull ache on both sides of the head or the back of the neck. If you've always been susceptible to tension headaches, pregnancy can make the problem worse.

Experts don't know exactly why carrying a child tends to make your head ache more often, but one good guess is the hormonal free-for-all that's taking place in your body. Going cold turkey on caffeine can also make your head pound.

Other potential culprits include lack of sleep or general fatigue, sinus congestion, allergies, eyestrain, stress, depression, hunger, and dehydration.

For most pregnant women, headaches tend to diminish or even disappear during the second trimester, when the flood of hormones stabilizes and the body grows accustomed to its altered chemistry."

Answer 3

I hope you're feeling better soon. I too seemed to have a constant headache for about the first 3 months. One day you'll wake up and wonder how long your headache has been gone for.
good luck.

Answer 5

I was getting migraines every week for like 2-3 days at a time. My OB/GYN ended up giving me a prescription for percocet since Tylenol doesn't touch migraines, and I couldn't take ibuprofen. He then sent me to a massage therapist and that really helped a lot.

Answer 6

yess!! and I threw up A LOT! it gets better though. Take a lot of Tylenol- I took extra strength. Good luck

Answer 7

In my first pregnancy I never had any, but my second pregnancy it seemed like I had them everyday, especially in the first trimester.
