Headaches.

Lauren79

Anyone else having terrible headaches?  I first thought I was getting them from one of my cravings - lemonade.  I never drink anything with sugar or caffeine, even before I was pregnant.  I thought it was the sugar and stopped drinking it.  I did fine for about a week and now the headaches are back just the last 2 days.  I did switch and started taking my prenatal after lunch and the headaches have come back.  I was taking them before bed, but I kept forgetting.  Could it be the vitamins?  Or is it just pregnancy headaches that I can't do anything about?  I cannot take tylenol and do not drink caffeine.  Is there anything else I can eat/drink to make them go away?

Thanks.

It may just be hormones!!!  Feel better----

Me... its a normal pregnancy thing. Its a hormonal headache so even if you were able to take tylenol it really doesn't help much. I take a hot shower or but a warm wash cloth on my head/neck. It helps... sometimes

Poor thing, I'm sorry.

I'm getting them too. I have a bad one right now. I tried to knock it out with a bit of caffeine but it didn't do anything. I'm just going to lay down in a dark room when I get home.

Feel better.

Agreed- it could just be hormones.

Try a warm compress either on your forehead or the back or your neck. Feel better.

I have headaches constantly... at least once a day. I'm quite certain they are all thanks to the hormones!

I have been getting headaches recently.  I usually never get them.  I had a really bad ones last Wednesday and on Monday.  I think its mostly stress but last Wednesday I took 2 tylenol and a few sips of wine and went to bed early. I had a little one today too.

Thanks ladies, I hope you all feel better too.

At my 10 week appointment my doctor told me that morning sickness would decrease in the next month and headaches would increase and she was right at least in my case.  I have found that cold compresses across my head and warm across my neck help but honestly I have to result sometimes to Tylenol and a can of diet coke (like I did tonight).

Feel better.

I have gotten migraines before pregnancy, and I thought I was having caffeine withdrawal with all of the headaches I'm getting.  But I still can't kick them with Tylenol or a bit of caffeinated cola.  A hot shower does help sometimes and peppermint oil can relieve it a bit but I am trying to curb one right now and there's not much that's helping!  Good luck!

Yes, I get them it seems like at least 2-3 times a week. I don't take anything for them less it gets too bad. I ended up having to take something over the weekend because the headache lasted all day. I've completely cut out caffeine from my diet since I found out I was pregnant.

I've been getting sinus headaches that last 2 days at a time lately. I use a netti pot, humidifier, tylenol, and hot showers but it seems like they just have to run their course. I asked my doctor about it yesterday and she said that if Zyrtec doesn't help then their isn't much to do but suffer. Boo.

I tend to get mine in the evening and have found that if I wait till I feel one coming on to take my prenatal vitamins it helps. I also asked about doubling up when they get really bad and got the ok and that seems to help a lot. Good Luck
