Been getting these dull headaches almost every afternoon since early second trimester. Never used to be a headache person before this. Just trying to understand whats causing it, anyone else dealing with this?
I felt frequent headaches in my first trimester, my gynac said it is mostly the hormone changes and sometimes dehydration. Drinking enough water and resting helped me. They eased off by second trimester.
Beta rest in a dark quiet room and a cool cloth on the forehead used to help us. Make sure you are eating and drinking on time. But if the headache is very bad or with high BP, see the doctor at once.
Mild ones are common, but I will gently say a severe or constant headache with swelling can mean BP issues. I had that and they checked my pressure. Please dont brush off a bad headache, tell your gynac.
Headaches early on are usually hormones, low sugar or not enough water. Eat small frequent meals and stay hydrated. But if you get a sudden severe headache with blurry vision or swelling, call your doctor immediately, dont ignore that.
