headaches in first trimester? did you have them?

[Carmen2]

Don't we all just love these headaches since they are a part of the whole pregnancy thing. I've had them for a week straight. It gets so bad some times I just feel like lying down doing nothing. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for DD! LOL, she sits next to me and looks at me wondering what is mommy doing looking so miserable and tired. Does anyone also get these headaches while in later trimester? I'm hoping these will go away soon for good. I will take the panadol when it gets bad. It's true that it's better for DD and the baby to have a non-stressed mom rather than a mom in agony screaming for some relief! I have tried to keep myself as hydrated as possible with 1 large glass of fresh squeezed orange juice and lots of water but if I drink any more, I think I will have to sit in the loo for the whole day with DD sitting in her potty!

I never had them with DD but I had them alot in first and second trimester with DS.

The only thing that helped was making sure I was well hydrated...but even that was a bit hit and miss, I still got them a fair bit

Hopefully they'll pass!

I've had a few this time round ... though I don't remember having them with Jovi ... seems like a life time ago! LOL I usually find I get them if I'm super tired or really thirsty.

I had them too, and they would last for days. Lucky for me panadol took the edge off, as did a coffee.

Im glad to say though that they stopped at around the 2nd tri.

I think its the hormones. Hope you feel better soon!

i dont normally get headaches and i guess i'm blessed that way. however, i agree that lots of water helps as well as perhaps a shower? i normally hop into one n wash my hair if i get a headache n it works for me.

Ive been suffering from alot of headaches with this pregnancy but for the past week they have been constant and quite annoying but my daughters have also had it for a week and i found out there is a nasty head cold like bug going around thats causing headaches and sinus pain so that explains the week long headaches.

Hi everyone.
This is my first pregnancy and I've been getting mild headaches which seem to last for days. I rarely get headaches so its been a bit of a surprise. I'm seriously allergic to panadol and most other painkillers so my only option is a lie-down! I drink 2 - 3 litres water every day so I dont think its dehydration. For me I'm sure its coffee withdrawal! I haven't had a coffee for two weeks and I am really suffering! I'm hoping my body will get used to it soon
