Headache During 15 Weeks Pregnancy Since 3 Days, Constantly Thirsty, Remedy?
Hi, I m 15 weeks pregnant with a headache that won t go away. I ve had it now for 3 days. Paracetamol work but only for about an hour. Also I am constantly thirsty. I always drink a lot of water (at least 2 litres a day) but in the last few days, I ll have a sip and then my mouth is dry and thirsty immediately. Yesterday I drank 6 litres of water.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
It is normal to have a mild headache and an incraesed thirst during pregnancy. It happens due to an increased basal body temperature due to the effect of hormones in our body. You can take paracetamol for headache on as and when required basis. Please do not worry.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
