Headache...

JayKuh

For the past 3 days I have had a headache that doesn't seem to want to go away. I've been taking Tylenol (according to the directions), but it doesn't seem to shake it. Is this normal or should I call the dr?

I have always suffered from headaches/migraines. Stopped taking my migraine meds before I got pregnant, but found that my headaches actually cut down ALOT! Which is much appreciated (thanks baby) But I didnt have a 4 day headache last week... Tylenol was NOT cutting it! Doctor told me to try Excedrin w/o asprin.  It has a little caffeine in it, and works like a charm!!! The ones w/o asprin are Excedrin Tension, Excedrin regular strenth, and Excedrin PM. Try it :-)

Have you stopped or cut down on caffeine? You could be having a caffeine withdrawal headache. Although, all the hormones in pregnancy can just cause headaches on there own. I have migraines every once in a while, but I've had 2 in the past 2 weeks which is a lot for me. I guess it's just the hormones. I pray they don't get worse. . .

I have dramatically cut down on caffeine, maybe a soda every few days because the sugar makes me sick to my stomach. But I haven't had a lot of caffeine since I found out I was pregnant. I was thinking hormones, but I wasn't sure since I just not started getting them a few days ago. But I'll try some Excedrin without Aspirin to see if that kicks it. Thanks
