Headaches


1st, 2nd, 3rd Trimesters

Headaches are common during pregnancy and rarely signal a serious problem. The frequency and severity can vary. It is important that you discuss with your health care provider what medications you can safely take to relieve a headache (or any other discomfort) during your pregnancy.  After your first trimester, you may take Tylenol if needed.  Talk to your health care provider before taking any other medication. 

Contact your health care provider if your headache: 

  • does not go away
  • recurs often
  • is very severe
  • causes blurry vision or spots in front of your eyes
  • is accompanied by nausea.
