causes of bad headaches/migraines during pregnancy?

not every day but some days/nights i get these horrible headaches. they start at random times and last a long time. this last one lasted starting from one night all through the next day and then through that night also before ending. i am in my 14th week and getting worried about what could be wrong. so i would like to hear all suggestions about this. thank you.

Update:

these last few weeks they have been real bad. in earlier weeks they seemed mild and i thought it had to do with sugar. but the ones i been having lately are different and having a snack, laying down, being in dark, nothing seems to help.

    If you were further on I would say that you had high blood pressure, and the start of pre eclampsia

    If you suffer from migrain it can get worse during pregnancy mine did but it was much later on

    I would suggest a trip to the doc

    same problem here, its because of all the hormones , i get one everyday and it isn't a simple headache they're migraines, the only thing i could do about it was take Acetaminophen ( Tylenol ) and still do because the pain is unbearable

    i was told that the headaches are from low blood sugar, so a snack might make them go away
