is it normal to have such bad headaches in early pregnancy?

i am 10 weeks pregnant, and for the last 2 days have had this realy bad headache. i cant go and lie down as i have a 6 year old and a 2 year old to run around after. i dont remember having bad headaches the first two times.

1. I had horrible headaches with my second pregnancy and not with my first. My doctor said it was normal and to go ahead and take Tylenol before the headache turned into a migraine. Also, I had to make sure to eat and drink regularly. One thing that worked wonders was having a little caffeine (usually a cup of coffee). The caffeine helps headaches tremendously. Good luck!

2. Oh my gosh I get the same thing too. I've heard that it is normal so just seem to try and ignore it. If it gets too severe and you are worried, consult your midwife and she should be able to recommend something.
Congrats and good luck
