Anyone having recurring headaches?

Question

Is this fairly common in pregnancy? What causes it?

Answer 1

I have had headaches since I have been pregnant! This is VERY common during pregnancy, so dont worry. I THINK the reason for this is the hormone levels increasing in our bodies.  

Answer 2

YES!!!!!  I have had them since 15 weeks, and I'm know 29 weeks, my doctor prescribed me Midrin, which is safe to take during pregnancy.

The cause of them is your hormones.

My doctor told me to drink a little bit of soda or something caffinated and take Tylenol, since that didn't help, they put me on the prescription.

Answer 3

I have really frequent headaches lately. I think it's just the hormones in your body that causes them, but they sure do hurt some days. Best of luck to you!

Answer 4

Answer 5

I have had a headache since I got pregnant. Sometimes they get really bad and turn into migraines. The Dr gave me Tylenol #3 to take when it gets really bad. He said that they are relatively safe when taken occasionally. I am told that the headaches are quite common while pregnant and not to worry too much, unless they come on really strong, really quick, then you should be seem be a dr. because it could be a blood pressure issue.
