Im around 6 weeks and getting these dull headaches almost daily, mostly in the evening. Trying to understand if its the normal pregnancy type or something else, coz i dont want to keep popping anything. How did it feel for you ladies?
I had dull, tension type headaches in my early weeks, mostly from hormones, dehydration and not eating on time. Drinking enough water and small regular meals helped me a lot. Rest in a dark quiet room also eased it.
Mild headaches can be common early on, but please dont ignore a severe one or one with blurred vision or swelling later, that needs urgent checking. I always tell people to mention bad headaches to their gynac. Better safe than sorry.
Usually theyre dull and from hormone changes, low sugar or skipping water. Keep hydrated, eat on time and rest. If a headache is very intense or wont go, then check with your doctor rather than just taking a pill on your own.
