Re: Headaches

  • I’ve been having hormonal headaches every morning. After I drink some coffee it seems to help a lot

  • I have been with non stop headaches since week 7 (started as terrible migraines and now turned to daily 24 /7 headaches). 

    I did many tests and saw a neurologist and I was told it's hormones and increased blood flow. It's very depressing to feel this way all day every day. Any tips that worked for you to feel better?


  • I’ve seen a few people mention this happening around the second trimester. Could be hormonal or even just not eating often enough. I’d bring it up at your next appointment to be sure it’s nothing more.
  • I have chronic migraines and was told pain would settle down during pregnancy. However, I am still experiencing daily headaches. I’ve recently been going to a scalp massage therapist every 2 weeks and that seems to help me. It takes away a lot of the tension in my head muscles and is a nice way to relax for 30 mins. I highly recommend this treatment to anyone experiencing daily headaches! 
  • Electrolytes seem to do the trick every time!! I get LMNT raspberry flavor from target
  • Also struggle with migraines it was worse in the first trimester. It always leads to me feeling nauseas then getting sick. My dr gave me medicine to help which I really don’t want to have to take unless I can’t keep anything down. So I try to be careful with my diet, staying away from sugar and greasy foods since they seem to be a trigger for me mainly sugar. Eating lots of protein and staying hydrated plus electrolytes helps me.
