Are tension headaches a sign of pregnancy?
While tension headaches are a common complaint during pregnancy, they are not considered a reliable early sign of pregnancy. Many women experience headaches during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and increased blood volume, but these headaches are not typically a predictor of pregnancy.
Early signs of pregnancy can include:
- Missed period
- Nausea or morning sickness
- Breast tenderness
- Fatigue
- Frequent urination
- Bloating
- Mood changes
- Spotting or light bleeding
If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is advisable to take a pregnancy test or consult a healthcare professional for confirmation.
