Abstract
Headaches are a common problem in pregnancy and often receive scant attention from the clinician. This may be due to an incomplete understanding of the condition. Although sometimes innocuous, headaches are also associated with some very dangerous conditions that occur during pregnancy. This manuscript provides a classification for headaches in pregnancy as well as the appropriate workup and management for this condition.
