Headache - Symptom

[HeatherJ02]

Hi Everyone,

I just wondered if anyone suffers from headaches as a symptom?

They aren't usually something that I get but since finding out I'm pregnant, I've had 2 that pretty much last all day.

I'm only in my 6th/7th week therefore it's still early days.

Thanks,

I had horrendous headaches and occasionally got migraines during my first trimester x

Thanks for getting back to me, reassuring to know that it’s not just me x

I had weekly migraines from day I found out till like 4,5 months. . . 😭

Expecting a girl now , did not have it with my boy. Maybe for me they were hormonal migraines..

Hope your head will sort itself out very soon!

Yes! Weekly from about week 5, some migraines and some bad headaches. I’m 13 weeks now and they have calmed down a bit. Think for me it was partly hormones and partly the worry and build up (took a long time to conceive) coming to a head, excuse the pun. X

I hope mine ease off too then. I’ve been really anxious as this is my first pregnancy so that may not be helping x

[Arya10 in reply to HeatherJ02]

It’ll definitely have a lot to do with the anxiety, is there a particular reason you’re anxious? If there’s anything you can do to help relieve your anxiety it’ll most likely help with the headaches. I’ve found mine calm down after the 12 week scan and also writing down everything that was worrying me to get it out xx

I had terrible headaches in the first trimester, all normal though, just the hormones doing their thing. Take paracetamol to help if you need to and get some rest. Congrats btw 🤗 xx

I had them loads in my first pregnancy. I think it's just hormones. Just keep drinking water and get as much rest as you can. Hope they ease off soon!

Yep, didnt get any with my first but this time im getting dull but manageable headaches all the time. Its definitely normal, hopefully it should subside in the 2nd Tri...so I hope x

Yes, but these seem to have started in my second trimester. Just had one yesterday, had 10 hours sleep cold press on my head but had to resort to paracetamol in the end which I really didn’t want to do.xx
