when I was younger they were definitely hormone led but that should be less so with you being pregnant. Are you drinking enough? You need to drink a lot of water. Keep a food diary. Write in everything you eat and drink and how your head is, you might see a link.
over the years I've found I can't drink a drop of coffee or alcohol, drinking chocolate was an early one as well. I've also found things as diverse as ginger, pineapple, spices, chocolate, all trigger a migraine. At one point it was gluten. I cut out all bread, cakes, biscuits, everything with gluten for about 3 years and that seems to have cured that, I can eat bread etc again.
The flashes you see are a typical migraine symptom, so try not to worry about it being sinister.
after your new baby arrives remember to drink lots of water, especially if you breastfeed as dehydration is a migraine trigger.

Good luck, I hope you find the cause of the headaches is just food or whatever and you can relax a bit and enjoy your pregnancy.

Could be pollen, or other allergy. Try breathing steam, not too hot, and give up as much dairy as possible. Shower in the evening and either wash /rinse your hair or put a wet comb or brush through it. This gets rid of any pollen off your hair, stops it going on your pillows and being breathed in all night.
Steam am as often as possible during the day, sounds like you've fluid in your sinuses, this can also cause you to feel dizzy as it effects ears.
