headaches in first trimester? did you have them?

[Tobily]

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

BD,

Welcome to BB and congrats on your pregnancy. Sorry to hear that you are so allergic to many painkillers. I can really understand the torture of these headaches. I remember mine were so bad some days that my DD just sat and wondered why I was looking so grumpy! LOL, she must have thought it was something she did. Thankfully, they are gone now. Lying down surely helped and for me it was also dehydration. When it gets uncomfortable, you could also try to drink a decaf green tea which helped me. If you think caffeine withdrawal is the reason to your headache, I guess you could also have a cup since they say that pregnant women are allowed to have 2 cups of coffee... so, a cup of it could ease yoru headache! Hope it goes away for you soon....
