What causes headaches during pregnancy second trimester?
Entered my second tri thinking the tiredness would go but now these headaches have started instead. Almost daily by evening. I thought headaches were a first trimester thing only. what's causing it now?
Mostly its hormones, dehydration or skipping meals. I made sure to eat small frequent meals and rest, that cut down my headaches. If they get really bad with swelling though, get your BP checked.
I found resting in a dark quiet room and staying hydrated helped my milder headaches. A cool compress felt nice too. But anything severe, please check with your doctor instead of home tips.
Mild headaches are common, but a strong constant one with blurred vision or swelling can be a BP issue. Please dont ignore that and call your gynac. Better to be safe than sorry.
My doctor said hormone changes, dehydration and low blood sugar are common culprits in the second trimester. Drinking enough water and not skipping meals helped me a lot. But if a headache is very severe or with vision changes, call your gynac immediately.
