Cycles of awful headaches, then nausea

I am 11 weeks 1 day, and since about week 6, I've had cycles of 3ish days feel very, very queasy, with a little vomiting, where nothing really works, and then I'll have 3-4 days of feeling queasy but manageable, but with a headache that starts growing and then gets unbearable, and then I'm right back to the 3 or so days of feeling very pukey.  Last night the headache got ridiculous and I woke up to no headache this morning, but back to the very pukey feeling. Yay.  Anyone else having this pattern?

Counting down to the second trimester over here!!!

  • No, but those are all very normal 1st tri symptoms. Hope you feel better soon.

  • I'm right there with you on the headaches! Hang in there!!
  • Same here. I get a headache and then the nausea attacks
  • Are you drinking enough water?
  • Actively trying to drink more water... my most pukey feeling days, water makes me feel worse, so I sub in V8 juice or Gatorade.  I've been doing better the last couple days with drinking fruit-infused water though, but you may be onto something!

  • I know it's hard. I seriously avoided water for 2 weeks and only had juice and Gatorade but I started realizing that my headaches were nightly. I initially shrugged it off to hormones but after 2 days of drinking water, my headaches have stopped. I could be wrong but it's worth a try.
  • I hear ya! I'm also back and fourth between nausea and headaches. My doctor said it could definitely be dehydration. She suggested mixing Gatorade and water. I've been really trying my best to drink more, I even downloaded a water app to help remind me, but so far I feel like drinking fluids helps but some days the headaches are still there :/
  • I've been downing lemon water for the past couple days and that seems to help.
