I have been getting dull headache on and off in the afternoon, especially if I dont nap. I am 10 weeks and otherwise okay, but it makes me anxious. Did anyone else have this in first trimester?
My gynac said early on its mostly hormone changes, and also things like dehydration, skipping meals, less sleep and even caffeine cutdown can trigger it. Drinking enough water and eating on time helped me a lot.
Beta often it is just gas, less sleep or empty stomach. A little rest, proper meals and enough water usually settles it. For medicine always ask your doctor first, dont take anything on your own.
Hormones, tiredness and not drinking enough water mainly. I used to get them when I skipped lunch. Try resting in a dark quiet room and hydrate. Dont pop random painkillers, ask doc which is safe.
Mild headaches are common and usually harmless. But please note, if you get a severe headache later in pregnancy with swelling, vision changes or high BP, that needs urgent doctor check, dont ignore that one.
For me staring at laptop all day plus skipping meals was the trigger. Now I keep a water bottle on my desk, take small breaks and eat on time. Cut my headaches down a lot honestly.
