Headaches

Anyone else having headaches in the 2nd trimester? I’m 18weeks and have had headaches on and off (had similar in last pregnancy but can’t remember what stage) the headaches are not crippling just really annoying!

sadly nothing much works and we’re so limited on what we can take! I try to avoid it but take paracetamol when it’s really bad xx

Yeah I haven’t taken anything either , trying to up my water Intake as much as pos. Magnesium is supposed to be good x

Same, I spoke to midwife who said its due to dehydration, I explained I drink loads and she said I need to drink more and to literally 'drink like a fish!' So I'm now drinking atleast a pint of water an hour! And it's a lot better!

I had this in my first pregnancy and got diagnosed with Occipital neuralgia (basically oedema that pregnant woman usually get in their ankles etc, was in my head! and trapping a nerve!) I had a nerve block injected into my scalp and the relief was immediate! I have never had it since, not even in my second pregnancy, or this one being my 3rd. It’s a really annoying headache that doesn’t go away regardless of what you do/take 🥺. Hope you get some relief from whatever is causing yours soon 🤞🏽 xx
