How to deal with pregnancy headaches?

Question

Since last week i keep getting these dull headaches almost daily, mostly by evening. I dont want to take anything without asking my gynac first. How did you ladies handle it without meds?

Riddhi Shenoy · Answer

Most of my headaches were from dehydration and skipping meals. Drink water properly and eat something every 2-3 hrs, that cut them down a lot for me.

Yaar caffeine withdrawal was my problem actually, I had cut chai suddenly. Doc said one small cup is okay so that helped. Dont take any tablet on your own pls.

I used to get them in first trimester a lot, hormones I guess. A cold cloth on forehead and a dark quiet room helped me nap it off. Also keep your BP and reports in check at every visit na.

Ekta Namboothiri · Answer

Rest and hydration honestly. Most of mine went away once I started sleeping a bit better.

Normal headaches usually settle with rest and water. But please if you ever get a really bad headache with blurry vision or swelling, dont wait, call your doctor immediately, that can be a BP thing.

They are pretty common early on, dont panic. Try resting in a dark room and gentle head massage. Just check with your gynac before taking anything for it okay.
