Pregnancy Headaches

I'm not prone to getting headaches. I hardly ever have one, and when I do there is usually an obvious reason, like my hair has been pulled back all day.

Or I'm pregnant.

The headaches were much more common in my first trimester, but I still get one every once in a while. Mostly when I feel really queezy. I'm not one to take lots of over-the-counter medicine, so I usually just lay down for a while if my head hurts. Fortunately, my headaches have never been too painful.

I'm not sure what makes headaches a symptom of pregnancy. The hormones? The increased blood flow? The stress? Whatever it is, babies give their mommies headaches before they're even born.
