Been getting these dull headaches almost daily in my first tri and its making me cranky. Dont want to randomly take anything without checking with gynac. What do u all do for relief?
My headaches were often from low blood sugar and dehydration. A snack, water and lying down in a dark room worked more often than any tablet. Try that first, it genuinely helped me skip medicines most days.
Please dont self medicate na, even common tablets should be cleared by your gynac in pregnancy. And if the headache is severe or with vision changes or swelling, call your doctor right away. Better safe than sorry.
For most pregnant women paracetamol is the one usually allowed, but only the dose your doctor okays. I always rested and hydrated first before reaching for anything. Please dont take any other painkiller on your own.
