Headaches during pregnancy are very challenging as over the counter pain killers are not recommended. Read on to see what you can do to relieve the pain from your headaches during pregnancy.
First of all let’s address why some pregnant women suffer from headaches during pregnancy. Within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy the surging hormones play a part in the development of pregnancy headaches. The 40% increase in blood volume that occurs during pregnancy increases pressure within the blood vessels and this itself can cause pregnancy headaches. Headaches during the last month of pregnancy might also be caused by a condition called preeclampsia, which is associated with high blood pressure, swelling and accelerator in the urine.
It is normal to have headaches during pregnancy because of the above reasons plus the following:
Stress
Lack of sleep

What you can do to assist your pregnancy headaches:

Pregnancy headaches are sometimes relieved with either hot or cold compress around your forehead and on the back of your neck.
