Are headaches a sign of pregnancy or period?

Question

I've been getting headaches recently, and my period is also due. I'm trying to figure out if these headaches could be an early sign of pregnancy or just my period coming.

I had massive headaches early on and only hot ginger tea with some spicy snacks solved it. If you are also having weird cravings along with it, maybe do a test soon!

Yami Setty · Answer

Headaches can happen in both because of hormonal shifts. Don't stress yourself trying to guess the symptoms. Just wait for your missed period and do a home test.

Haan na, even I had severe headache and thought my periods are coming for sure. But then pregnancy test positive aa gaya! Just take some rest and see.

Haan, hormones can really mess with your head na. It could be either, so just drink lots of water and check with a kit after 2-3 days if your period gets late.

My little one is a toddler now but I remember having a terrible headache before my positive test. It can definitely be a very early sign of pregnancy. Keep tracking your dates!
