Headaches during pregnancy?
Did anyone have headaches during any of their pregnancies and have a successful outcome?
I normally get migraines around the time of AF. But during my last pregnancy which ended in a missed miscarriage I didn't have any headaches until around 10 wks when the baby passed and which I didn't realize until my next Dr. appt at 12 wks.
This pregnancy I've had quite a few headaches and each time I'm very worried thinking that it must mean that I've miscarried and my body hasn't realized it yet. So I'm just looking for a bit of reassurance that some women have had headaches during pregnancy and have gone on to have healthy babies. Thanks!Enjoying life with my crazy little DS1 2010: and DS2 2012:

Oh sweetie, hang in there! I get migraines brought in from allergies, bright light/sun light, and weather fronts/systems. Ironically, I don't get migraines in pregnancy, just bad headaches.
I've had a flurry of bad headaches in early pregnancy with all of my pregnancies I've carried to term. I was told it is very normal as your body adjusts to the increase in blood volume that happens in early pregnancy that triggers headaches usually in women that are prone to them (but not always). Count it as a good thing that you are getting them, because your body is adjusting to the baby and it's needs!! They should get better around 12-16 weeks .
Hang in there and know that Tylenol, in safe amounts and the lowest dose needed for the shortest amount of time, will be your friend.

Thanks ladies! It wasn't a bad headache, it went away after I ate and drank something and was able to sit down for a few minutes. It is just hard not being able to know if everything is working out as it should.

Hello,
Different people have different experience. But it's common to get headaches during pregnancy, That is a biggest reason, Headaches are triggered by the hormonal changes that are happening in your body.

Like xX im a migraine sufferer but seem to get less in pregnancy. Now that being said I get tons of headaches - especially first trimester. It's certainly not a sign of miscarriage love. Just take it easy and stay hydrated as much as you can.

I had AWFUL headaches every day for the first 3 months during my first pregnancy and everything was fine. During this, my 3rd, I was nauseous for the first 3 months and now headaches every day during the 2nd trimester ugh it sucks. I only take Tylenol if absolutely necessary to function. Coffee seems to help sometimes. (Which I usually never drink) with my first pregnancy I stayed away from EVERYTHING. With this one I am much more lenient lol
