Have you had anyone rub your neck and around your shoulder blade. I get those and my husband will rub me there and then my forehead. It doesn't always cure it but it sure helps. Hope that helps you.

Peppermint oil, a massage, and some heat.

My doctor prescribed me Tylenol 3 and fioricet. Ask your doctor about those meds. As someone who's had chronic migraines for the past 8 years I know how frustrating and feeling like you just don't want to move. Hope you feel better!

Do you happen to have TMJ? I clench my teeth at night or when I'm stressed. If I don't wear my mouth piece I have the same kind of headaches. Maybe get it checked out by your dentist? My mouth piece works wonders. Good luck!

Also, I second heat. I lay my neck on a heating pad for 15 min intervals and if it's really bad I'll put it on my head. It helps too.

My doctor said I could only take tylenol for headaches and to stay away from peppermint oil. I have been getting them all the time too and cant find relief at all

I do peppermint oil on the back of my neck with heat for mild headaches. My doctor ok'd excedrin only if unbearable.

Hot wash cloth on the forehead always helps me.

Ibuprofen is not recommended during pregnancy so it's good that you are not taking it any more. Caffeine works for me.

You may need a chiropractic adjustment.

I was having bad headaches every day a month ago, went to a great Osteopath who specialises in pregnancy, she said I had lots of tension in my neck, made a few tweaks and I have nt had one since! Now going every 2 weeks to make sure my back stays in place and the headaches don't return!
