how do you deal with headaches?

I have had a headache all day every day for a week now. Tylenol just doesn't cut it. Anyone else having this problem? Any advice? TIA!

I tend to get headaches from caffeine withdrawal, dehydration, and lack of sleep. Could it be any of those? I am over 10 weeks now and on zofran feeling MUCH better, but earlier in my pregnancy I was not drinking enough water because of how nauseated it made me - so be sure you are drinking a ton of water. If you've cut caffeine that could contribute too. You may want to just have a little bit, like a soft drink, and see if that helps ease it.

I was also going to suggest caffeine and a nap

Hope you feel better soon

Sometimes a half a can of coke or anything with caffeine helps.

Try calling your dr and see what they say.

I'm still drinking coffee every morning but I hadn't thought about being dehydrated. Maybe extra water will help. Thanks ladies!

It could also be a tension headache (not related to caffeine) - those are common in early pregnancy. I've had one since Friday. Hot showers and a heating pad around my neck have helped me significantly!
