well if you aren't going to take anything for it, why complain?

Possibly, but I don't think they should linger that long after taking something.  When I went to the drs. last week my bp was up a little, and the dr. told me to watch out for headaches that persisit and won't go away with tylenol, blurry vision and pains in the side.  They are symptoms of pre-eclampsia.  I would def. take something for it and see if it goes away.

Has your blood pressure been checked recently?  Headaches can be a sign of high blood pressure.

I was getting them on and off. But when I had a really bad headache for 4 days in a row my doc had me come in to check my blood pressure. A headache can be on e of the first signs of pre-eclampsia. My pressure was low (and I wasn't spilling protein into my urine) so he wasn't concerned.

I got severe migraines in 3rd tri with my first pregnancy and my OB wrote me a Rx for hydrocodone.  As far as regular headaches, I am not sure if it's normal or not but I would definitely advise your doctor at your next appointment.  It could be stress or maybe a change in your diet as well.

Oh and my doc said I could take extra-strength tylenol every 6-8 hours and to take 3 if the headache was really bad.......

if you aren't already at your caffeine limit, try some caffeine. i don't like to take tylenol unless i really need it, either. so far, i haven't had to take any for headaches. i just drink a can of coke and it does the trick.
