Is mild headache a sign of pregnancy?

Question

I've been having mild headaches lately, and my period is also a bit late. Could a mild headache be a sign of early pregnancy? I'm trying to figure out what these symptoms mean.

Yes, hormonal changes can cause mild headaches. But make sure to get your thyroid and BP checked regularly as they can also cause this.

Oh god, I had severe head tension and was so worried. It's usually just dehydration or hormonal surges, but please don't take any painkiller without asking your doctor.

Yes, it is very common in the first trimester. Drink plenty of water, rest in a dark room, and don't pop any pills without your gynac's okay.

Personally, I had mild headaches in my first trimester. I just drank coconut water and took small naps, and it went away on its own.
