Is a headache that keeps coming back everyday normal during the first trimesterl?
I have this horrible pounding headache that is at my temples on both sides and it seems to come every afternoon lasting until I finally go to sleep. I do not wake up with it but it comes with no fail every day. I am 6 weeks pregnant and am not one to really get a headache that often so this HAS to be pregnancy related? Is this normal? Also I have noticed it comes after a meal like lunch and gets worse after eating. Just really not fun.

1. You should ask your doctor about this. It might be nothing, but I'd at least get it checked. Your doctor might want to keep an eye on your blood pressure.2. I got one like that. It sucked. drinking a ton of water, taking my vitamins, and eating smaller meals helped. talk to the doc anyway.
3. im 7 weeks and i find if i dont drink enough water during the day, or i let my blood sugar go to low (by going too long between feeds) i end up with a chronic headache the later part of the day/night. it sucks!!!
its weird it gets worse after u eat food.. Maybe ur eating too late, try eating a snack (even an apple) or pushing your dinner time forward..
make sure ur not lacking anything, it might be worth a blood test. I suffer from low iron (like most women) and im sure ive heard low iron can cause headaches. dont quote me, as im not 100% sure, but its something to look into.
G0od luck and congrats :)
