hi ladies,

anyone else having insane headaches? It has been going on for over a month now - I am 18 weeks. And advice? Trying not to take too much tylonol. UG!

I keep getting them too.  I never had this many with DS #1.  I try not to take too much Tylenol too, I just usually drink a lot of water so I know I am well hydrated, eat something and sometimes I have to try a cup of coffee or something.  Hope you feel better!

I have had the same problem, started about week 21.  I have been drinking a small amount of caffeinated beverages and that seems to help.

I have a headache more often than not. Only things that help are #1 an ice pack on my head while laying down (it often makes me fall asleep too so thats good) #2 drinking water....half of mine are bc Im not drinking enough water so give it a try...and if not #3 tylenol

I have been having major headaches too for about a month....I finally made an appointment with my chiropractor and got seen yesterday--such immediate relief!  I know we can take tylenol--but I am not keen on it.  Have another apointment on Friday am.  This morning was the first morning in weeks that I didn't wake up with a headache.

I am totally attributing these to pregnancy symptoms--my life hasn't been very stressful lately; at least not more than usual.

Good luck!

 Also---I have been able to con DH to rub my neck and shoulders every night too--that seems to help somewhat.

Sometimes "Head On" has helped...it's available at places like Walgreens, I think.  It's similar to a chapstick tube, but bigger, and you rub it on your forehead and temples...
