Headaches - help please!

I have been having some severe headaches for the last week.  Anyone have any suggestions for how to get rid of them?  Please help!  TIA.

Did you recently cut out your daily caffeine?  If so, that's probably what's causing them.  Maybe try a small amount of caffeine to see if it helps.

I get migranes normally so when I got pg and found out that I could take my migrane meds I was a little worried. Here is what works for pg me w/ a headache:

*take two tylenol

*sip on some coke (the caffine is good for helping headaches)

*get a cold compress or wet wash rag

*lay down and rest your eyes for 30-45 mintues in a dark, quiet room with the cold compress on your forehead

Hope this helps!

I wasn't really eating a lot of caffeine before (I'd cut out caffeine before getting pregnant) but thanks for your suggestion!  I may try a handfull of M&Ms though to see if that helps :-)

I have been having this issue as well...it seems to be worse when I don't drink a lot (and I mean bordering on obscene amounts) of water.  If they do happen, sips of caffeine and tylenol can be helpful.

Staying hydrated and having a little caffeine every day are the only things that work for me. If it's late in the day, I drink a coke.

My dr ok'd Excedrine Tension and I saw my neurologist last week and she prescribed Fioricet. I get headaches daily now and have always been a migraine sufferer. It sucks!
