Non-stop headaches!!! Anyone else?

Ashley10268

The last 5 weeks or so (I'm 13 weeks+1 today) I've had horrible headaches and occasional migraines almost every single day!! I hate taking Tylenol and try to push through most days but some days-like today-make it so hard to ignore it!! Anyone have any suggestions for curing a headache aside from Tylenol?? I didn't have morning sickness so I guess this is my trade off!

I've been having a lot of headache to in the last 2 weeks (im at 13 weeks tomorrow) but not as bad as yours. I try to no take tylenol, but sometime I will have one before bed. I tried small amounts of caffeine (half a coffee mixed with half a decaf coffee) and that seems to help a little , as well as a lot of water!

But nothing works 100% yet so far so Im interested in what other people have to say!

Same boat. 13 + 1 and have a mild headache all day everyday. I also have some wicked muscle tension constantly in my shoulders and neck.

Make sure you are drinking lots and lots of water, even if you feel like you already drink a lot of water, drink more. Also try very cold gatorade. Not to scare you but if your headaches are that bad, talk to your doctor and get it checked out.

Run a tea towel under cold water and wring it out. Use on forehead or back of neck. It's really good for headache and migraines!

I tend to get a lot of migraines so I understand your pain. I do have to check myself every time I start getting a headache to see if I've had enough water that day--usually if I've not had enough, simply drinking a glass and waiting 20 minutes will help.

I do! Tylenol does nothing! Water and carbs randomly help though.

Thanks for replying everyone! Sometimes I do notice it might be lack of water and drinking it does help with a headache. Ice packs have helped a lot, too. I did see the doctor and told her about it, she said just hormones and not to worry. I will remember to keep on my water better!

My mom recommends one drop of Frankincense essential oil rubbed onto the roof of your mouth. I'm not 100% sure if it is safe to do during pregnancy but it could be worth looking into. 

ETA: I get debilitating migraines when not pregnant so when I am, my OB gives me a prescription of Fioricet which works really well for me.

No migraine but I have had annoying mild headaches and twinges of pain in my next. I also found a bump half way up the back of my neck that is scaring the shit out of me. I worry about everything

A little caffeine usually helps me!

My OB recommended a magnesium supplement taken daily for migraines. My headaches passed before I tried it, but it would be worth a shot!
