Headaches

Is it normal to get headaches in pregnancy?
I get them on occasion when I am not pg, but for the past month I reckon I have been getting 1-2 a week, to the point where i need to take panadol for them becuase nothing else works.

They normally start in the morning (Its started already when I wake up) or late at night.

Yep I get em too! And I have all along. I sufer from Migrains normally and I have oly had 1 since being preg so there is an upside!
Take some panadol or you can take panadine as well as its totally safe - my doc siad that I can also take mersyndol forte as well if I got a migrain - touch wood I didnt have to.
Hope they ease off for you!

it is common though if you are getting the quite regulary it is probably worth while a check up see what your Bp is doing it is not a nice thing and if your anything like i was when pg with Ryan i felt as guilty as sin for taking anything , but some times you just have too :hug:

my bp is at the lowish end of normal i think (110/65)

I am sitting here with a terrible headache that started this morning.
Yep - I def get more when preg.

go see a chiro hunny

very real chancce if you're getting regular headaches that the relaxin is loosening up your joints and things, and your neck/back may be out

Don't know where you live and if the hot weather has hit yet but you could try consuming more water, headaches are one of the first signs of dehydration. I was also told that during pregnancy the amniotic fluid is always replenishing itself so we need to drink more water.
Worth a try any way.

Danni - i wish i could drink more water Im not allowed to have more than 2L a day (I snuck in more when b/f DS though)

I will ask the osteo about it when I go this week and see what she says.
