I've heard that a lot of people get a lot of headaches when they're pregnant. What are the causes and how can I prevent them?

The most common cause of headaches during pregnancy is hormonal changes. Hormones can affect your blood vessels, leading to increased pressure on the vessels in your head. This can cause pain or discomfort. Other potential causes of headaches include stress, lack of sleep, constipation, and dehydration. To help prevent headaches, try to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and meditation. You should also talk to your doctor if you experience any severe headaches.
