Question Headaches as a sign of pregnancy?

Okay, I've been looking around to see if headaches can be a sign of pregnancy. I found one article here, signs of pregnancy, that says headaches can be a sign of pregnancy, but I am curious if anyone here has had headaches when they were pregnant. I have had a very bad headache for the last 3 days and really hoping that this is a sign of good things to come.

I never had headaches when I was pregnant, but I didn't have sore boobs either. Everyone is different! I hope this is your BFP!! Good luck!

Thanks, I really hope this is it. I am planning to test on Sunday. I think it might be too early to get a positive. I really want to test now, but I don't want to be disappointed.

I was sure I didn't have any signs of being pregnant, but after I got the positive, I remembered that I had a headache for a couple of days, and I normally NEVER get headaches. Then I read that those can be a pregnancy symptom.

Good luck.

I am 7 wks and 3 days pg and I 've been getting headaches almost every afternoon. My mom and sister said they both got them - my RE said it's b/c of the spike in hormones and the PIO injections. Some days they are wose than others. I teach 1st grade so obviously when I am at work they are worse with all the noise, etc. Since I have been on break, they have not been as regular or nearly as bothersome. good luck to you!!!

I have been having slight headaches the past few days. I'm not sure if it is prego stuff or if it is just my nerves and emotions of the past few days. Best of luck!

I had sever headaches while pregnant with my second ds. They were so bad that I would have to lay down so I wouldn't throw up. They started within the first week I found out I was pg. They continued throughout my entire pregnancy but became mild towards the end of the 3rd trimester.
I hope its a sign for you...good luck!
