Are headaches common during pregnancy?

Question

Been getting these dull headaches almost daily since the last week or so, im around 10 weeks now. Never used to get them before so im wondering if its a pregnancy thing or something i should mention to my doc. Did anyone face this?

Normal headaches are okay but please be careful, if its a sudden bad headache with blurry vision or swelling, get your BP checked with the doctor fast. Mine turned out to be BP related so I always say better safe. Dont take any painkiller without asking gynac.

I get headaches a lot these days and was honestly getting worried. Did others also feel this in second trimester? It makes me anxious sometimes na.

Yes very common, usually from hormones, less water or low sugar. Try to drink enough water, eat on time and rest your eyes from the phone. I had them too and they settled down after a while.
