Hi, I have gone through your question. Headache with neckache, low grade fever and increased ESR makes the tubercular infection of the brain first probable diagnosis. Since you are 7 weeks pregnant, I would suggest you to urgently consult a neurologist, get a MRI and other relevant investigations done to rule out tuberculosis, as treatment has to be started at the earliest in such a case. If it is ruled out, the neurologist will rule out other conditions like migraine, cervical spondylitis etc and will treat you according.
Hope your question is answered.
Wishin you good health.
