Headaches everyday

in 2nd Trimester
So today is the start of my second trimester.. I've been having headaches everyday for the last 5 days. Still there when I go to bed, there greeting me when I wake up they get worse as the day goes on.. My blood pressure was checked about 5 days prior to them starting and was fine so im not convinced it's that.. Is anyone having this problem and does anything work for you?

    Dehydration can cause them, as can zofran if you're taking it. Either of those possible? Hope you feel better.

    I used to get migraines every day and if drinking more water doesn't work and it's not zofran then you could try b12 vitamin. I started doing a shot every two-three weeks and that kicked me headaches out completely.

    Thanks fr the replies. I'm not taking zofran, im maybe not drinking enough water.. Probably about 3 small bottles a day? I'll up the water and see if that works.

    You can also try taking a magnesium supplement if it is not included in your prenatal. It was recommend here by a few posters; I tried it and it really helped! I'm down to headaches about once or twice a week instead of every day. Also certainly try upping your water :)

    This happened to me as well.  I woke up every day with a headache that would not relent.  I attributed it to allergies as well because I always get sinus headaches.  Try a cold compress on the back of your neck.

    I drank an absolute ton of water Sunday night and all day yesterday, no headache which was fantastic.. Can feel one creeping up on me today though

    Keep a record of your heart rate. It will rise as you get more dehydrated (unless you take medication such as a beta blocker). Maybe you will start to see a pattern between the two.

    My doctor told me headaches are very normal 17-20 weeks along due to hormones. He told me to drink plenty of water and if they get too bad take the recommended dose of Tylenol. I have been toughing it out and not taking medicine but sometimes it is really hard. Hopefully they start to go away for you the further along you get.

    I'm only 14+4 days so not in the 17-20 stage yet, I've not been bad the last two days could be the extra water, I think it scared me more as I had nosebleeds constant for 5 days previous to the headaches.. I see the midwife next week will mention it all to her and see but so far so good with the increase of water

    Sinus headaches for me have been the worst part of pregnancy this far. I used the target brand Tylenol (normal Tylenol oddly doesn't work for me) when it gets unbearable. And like they say above, drink plenty of water. The absolute minimum is 8 glasses a day.
