Headaches are common during pregnancy and are often caused by hormonal changes or stress. The safest first-line treatment is usually paracetamol, while NSAIDs should be avoided. Ensure she rests in a quiet, dark room, stays well hydrated, and uses a cool compress if needed. If the headache is severe, persistent, or accompanied by vision changes, consult her doctor or obstetrician immediately to rule out any serious conditions.

I'm sorry to hear your wife is experiencing a headache during her pregnancy. Headaches can be common in pregnancy but should be carefully evaluated to ensure both her and the baby's safety.

Here are some steps you can take:

  • Hydration: Ensure she drinks plenty of water, as dehydration can cause headaches.
  • Rest: Encourage her to rest in a quiet, dark room.
  • Diet: Maintain regular, balanced meals including traditional Indian foods like dals, millets, and seasonal vegetables to avoid low blood sugar.
  • Avoid stress: Help her relax and avoid stressful situations.
  • Avoid medications without doctorโ€™s advice: Some painkillers, especially non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aceclofenac, are generally not recommended during pregnancy.

If the headache is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms such as visual disturbances, swelling, high blood pressure, fever, or weakness, please seek immediate medical attention.

It is important to consult an obstetrician (pregnancy specialist) to evaluate her condition properly and recommend safe treatment options.
