im around 10 weeks and getting these dull headaches almost every afternoon. drinking water and resting but still. is this a normal pregnancy thing or should i mention it to my doc?
They are normal but can sometimes be linked to hormonal imbalances or thyroid issues. I had to monitor my thyroid levels every month, and my doctor adjusted my medication which helped with the headaches too. Keep up with your regular checkups.
I had terrible headaches in my second trimester. Instead of rushing to the hospital and paying high OPD fees every time, I bought a basic BP monitor for home to track it. If your BP is normal, it's just stress, but do check with your doctor to avoid unnecessary costs.
Mild headaches are common due to increased blood volume, my doctor explained this to me. But she also warned that sudden, severe headaches in the 2nd or 3rd trimester can indicate high blood pressure. So please get your BP checked once to be safe.
I have heard from my sisters that hormonal changes can cause mild headaches early on. It is quite common, but please don't take any strong painkillers on your own if you are trying to conceive or pregnant. Better to ask a doctor first.
I can totally feel your pain, I had both severe nausea and splitting headaches. Sometimes just resting in a dark room with a cool pack on my forehead helped. Do tell your gynac, they can suggest safe tablets if needed.
Yes, they are quite common. I had them on and off throughout my pregnancy and even a bit after my C-section due to lack of sleep. Try to get enough rest and drink coconut water, it really helped me.
Haan na, headaches can be so annoying during the first trimester. It is usually due to hormonal changes and dehydration. Just drink lots of water, but if it's very severe, tell your doc, okay?
