strong headache almost every day

[mateja28]

Hello, I'm in 13week now and I'm experiencing strong headache almost every day for abut a week and a half. I don't want to take medicine every day, but it's really hard to go true the day without it. Does somebody also have similar experience? Is it better later in pregnancy?

I had really bad headaches when I was pregnant with my sons around this time also. It does go. It's just the surge in hormones . Try a head massage and a cold flannel on your forehead

It's pretty common during 1st trimester. I had them too. Make she to call your OB, they should give you a prescription.
I had one, that was a combination of Tylenol, caffein, and smth else. The doses were small (specific for pregnancy) but the medication still worked really well!!

It can be just from pregnancy but even then your dr can give you medicine specifically for it. Mine didn't want me taking to much Tylenol and prescribe migraine med (pregnancy safe) and half a dose knocks mind out for 12+ hours vs Tylenol every few hours.

Headaches especially bad persistent ones can be a sign something isn't going smoothly (not always but it can be) you should have your OB/midwife give you a full exam.

If I've had more than a few bad headaches/migraines between appointments my OB always does a little extra checking just to be safe.

I experienced headaches but they were more from congestion/allergies. If you are experiencing strong headaches daily I would definitely talk to your OB. It is something they ask me at my appointment every time... "Any swelling or headaches?"
