I am four months pregant and i get horrible horrible headaches almost everyday is this normal?

Answer 1

Quite normal. It's caused by the rising estrogen in your body and should get better in a month or so when your body gets used to the overflow of hormones.
I did that too with my second baby and that's what my doctor told me.
Good luck and I hope you get to feeling better soon!!

Answer 2

I'm not a doctor but I've I'm having my 3rd child next month. I would make sure you tell your doctor about this. Remember that you need to drink a lot more water when you're pregnant, you could be dehydrated. When you become dehydrated you'll also notice that your baby won't move as much... the baby gets dehydrated too.

Another concern is high blood pressure. Even if you normally have low blood pressure you can develop a pregnancy related form. However, this doesn't ususally kick in until the thrid trimester so that is a little early for you.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! :)

Answer 3

I suggest she should see her Doctor as soon as possible, she should have done already, I mean 4 months? Wow. I don't think you can have a headache for 4 months without there being a problem, so it needs to be checked out. The weakness in the arm and leg on the left side may be relating to the heart, but I'm not a Doctor, so there's one place she should be!

Answer 4

I'm not sure if it's normal or not, but you're not alone. I'm also 4 months pregnant and get horrible headaches and migraines on a daily basis. I know this information really isn't helping you much but I think that it's always nice to know that you're not the only one going through this.

Answer 5

This is common for some people... If you had headaches before you got pregnant, they may stop completely. If you never had headaches, they may all of a sudden appear. My doctor recommended taking Tylenol (make sure you ask first), but it was safe to take it daily. You might talk to your doctor.. Because hormones are changing quite fast, this might be triggering your headaches.. Also think about the things that you may have had to quit (caffeine, drinking, smoking) because of getting pregnant. Maybe your body is trying to recouperate for this subtraction... Make sure you talk to your doctor...

Answer 6

I'm also 4 months and i get headaches so much almost everyday and it sucks the doctor prescribed me to something i can take with Tylenol but it doesn't really help it eases them up but it doesn't completely go away

Answer 7

Make sure that you are well hydrated. Dehydration can cause headaches and I had some pretty bad ones until I made sure that I was drinking more. Also mention it to your doc, since headaches can be a sign of preeclampsia, something you don't want to mess with.

Answer 8

heaches are the worse. at least you dont have a migraine....i had those instead and i thought i was going to kill myself. I would ask your doctor what you can take. I know that you can take ty but sometimes they dont help so see what your doc says.

its normal to get those since your body is changing everyday. i heard from some peeps that working out helps them get less headaches...not sure if thats true

drink lotsof water and also i heard something like soda can help...dont drink it tooo often but maybe once in awhile ...ask your doc

good luck sweetie and congrats to you

Answer 9

yes it is normal to get headaches, just do the best you can with it. The baby will be out in no time

Answer 10

Too many headaches isn't good. You need to let your Dr. know about these headaches because they may indicate some kind of problem.
