Severe headache  during pregnancy could be a sign of stress, hunger, poor ventilation, dehydration, malaria or an indication of pre eclampsia .

It could also be caused by hormonal changes during pregnancy.

Anemia or low Hemoglobin levels can also cause headaches

To avoid headache,

🔴Rest in-between your activities,

🔴Take in enough fluids, water, healthy drinks, soups etc

🔴Take  your malaria prophylaxis as ordered to prevent malaria

🔴Always check your BP and urine protein at the clinic if headache is severe

🔴Your doctor will  rule out the specific cause and treat accordingly.

🔴Take prescribed analgesics

🔴Regular exercise

🔴 Eat on time and food should be nutritious.

🔴Proper ventilation to reduce stuffiness

🔴Eat on time and inadequate proportions

🔴Also take your daily dose of prescribed haematinics

If the headache is persistent and doesn’t go away with rest, report immediately for further investigations and treatment. It’s a danger sign of pregnancy
