Headaches in 2nd Tri

I am already 13 weeks plus. Ever since I enter ed 2nd trimester, headaches have become a daily thing. Is it normal? My gynae said its okay to consume the normal panadol but I'm trying my best not to take it on a daily basis. Headache is my worst enemy!

I also have very frequent (almost daily) headaches, gynae said ok to take Panadol (but only the most basic kind) but I’m also trying to only take when I cannot bear the pain. I’ve been using heat compresses (I use the Daiso heat packs that you usually use to warm up your hands in winter countries) on my neck / temples (depending on where the source of pain and tension is). Sometimes they do work to relieve the headache, but even if they don’t, at least when the heat is applied to the area it feels better for a while, which is better than nothing at all. Doing simple neck and shoulder stretches, as well as a bit of swimming (even floating in the pool) also helped.
