Answer:
Do you’ve high blood pressure? If you do, contact your doc imediatelly, could be pre eclampsia. If your BP is ok, it's just one of those things. i get them sometimes, but I heard it's a sign of expecting a boy which I am ;-D, good luck

Answer:
I had really bad headaches as well. I didn't think it could be dehydration but that was the only solution left to try. I started drinking so much water that I peed every fifteen minutes and the headache went away! I think at that time of pregnancy your body needs so much water that it is hard to imagine. Get a really massive water bottle and drink it each hour. Good luck - I hope you feel superior!

Answer:
I'm 15 weeks and have been getting really bad headaches that last a few days at a time. It gets so bad that I cant pick my head up or leave a dark room. My physician stated if they get too bad that I have the ability to take vicodin for them but I really don't want to have to do that. I think you need to talk to your physician about that. Its normal to get headaches but it shouldn't be causing you this much trouble. Speak to your physician.

Answer:
I got really bad headaches around that time that lasted about 2weeks. I didn't take anything for them as i've heard to avoid painkillers during pregnancy also i have thin blood so im told to avoid them anyway so im used to just having to deal with them. Good luck they should get better.

Answer:
I had a 36 hour headache once. I couldn't take it any longer so I called my DR about it. She told me to take Tylenol Extra Strength and a can of Coke. 15 mins later my headache was gone.

If you’re having some that last up to 2 weeks though you should really talk to your DR because it could be caused by something else.

Answer:
did you suffer from migraine or hypertension before pregnancy. I would suggest for you to speak to your physician immediately. Sometimes I get headache when I don't drink enough water. Are you drinking enough water. see your doctor a.s.a.p.

Answer:
Ask to see your GP straight away. Constant headaches are one of the symptoms of preeclampsia .

It also could be nothing to worry about, but see your GP just in case ask for a blood test.
