Brain Tumors/Should I be worried??

Question
Back when I was 15 I went for an MRI for headaches, they found a tumor but said it was benign and had me go for a few more MRI's then told me I didn't need to go anymore. So I'm assuming they felt I was ok. Headaches were found to be caused by my meds for adhd. Snce then no major problems but 2-3 months ago I started getting headaches everyday, bad ones. Around that time I was 2 months pregnant and stopped my anti depressents and stuff because of the pregnancy aswell as cut back on cafiene. Do you think the headaches are the brain tumor or just the pregnancy and stress and anxiety since not being on my meds. My pcp says he thinks it's stress and anxiety. I would think if it was the tumor I'd have the problems all this time and not just recently after major changes in my life. Thanks!
It may very well have to do with your stress etc. However it is easily checked! Another MRI scan and we will know for sure, but probably the radiology clinic will not do it until after you have delivered your baby unless your dr. has found some neurological signs that something is going on inside your head. If not the risk that something is is low so I think in that case you can wait with confidence. Good luck!
