This headache...

is so freaking persistant... I tried Tylenol, but it doesn't do anything so then I just feel like I am taking drugs for no reason...

Honestly the only thing that makes it go away is sleeping for 12-14 hours... which is great when I have the time. I have tried more water... not so much, caffeine doesn't work...

Any ideas? I am starting to go a little crazy... I mean I have had it for about 6 weeks...

Re: This headache...

  • I had a headache that last for quite some time and I got a massage.  The massage really helped with the headache and within a day or two it was gone.  So that is my recommendation - go get a prenatal massage.  Also, if you are past 12 weeks your doc can prescribe you something stronger than Tylenol like Tylenol 3 or Fiorcet (sp?).

  • I've been fighting the headaches with massage. My doc told me I could go as often as I see her - so for now it's once a month. Thankfully that means I'm going on Thursday! Later on she said to increase the number of massages to every other week and then finally once a week.

    I too have tried tylenol and it really isn't working. The massage gives me at least 2 weeks of relief though.

  • It can be dehydration, or even the levels of Estrogen flowing.  You can get other pills from your Dr.  I had to.  I've had a headache for the past 10 days almost.  You should call and just say the tylenol isnt working.  They have things like Fioricet that help that are safe for pregnancy.
