Been getting these dull headaches almost daily this past week, mostly in the afternoon. Im around 10 weeks and it never used to happen to me before. Just curious if its a normal pregnancy thing or something i should mention to my doc?
Hormones, tiredness, dehydration and skipping meals are the usual causes early on. Water, rest and regular food fixed most of mine. Just dont ignore a bad headache in the later months, get your BP checked.
My doctor said early headaches are often from hormone changes, plus dehydration, low sugar or lack of sleep. She told me to drink water, eat on time and rest. But she warned a severe headache with blurred vision or swelling in later pregnancy needs urgent check for BP.
I got headaches partly from stress and not sleeping well, and worrying made it worse. Resting and being kinder to myself helped. If it ever feels severe or different, please get it checked, dont sit with the worry.
