Headaches!!! Grr...

wfdfire607

Anybody else been getting rough headaches? It's driving me crazy and Tylenol doesn't do anything for me. FI is freaking out and thinks I might have something wrong. I told him it's a PG symptom but he doesn't buy it. Please tell me I'm not alone!! What have you been doing to subside the pain?

I typically don't even get headaches so this is a new thing for me!  I've been getting them a lot - but Tylenol typically works well.  Have you mentioned it to your doctor?  Maybe she can suggest something?  I'm sorry! 

Tell your husband it definitely is a pg. symptom!!

This just started bad a couple days ago so I haven't gotten a chance to talk to the doctor. I'm gonna try and hold out till our next appt a week away. Maybe just early bed time is what I need lol.

Or an ice cream sandwich.  That always works for me.

Me! Its just a hormone headache... a lot of people say tylenol doesn't work for those but Idk. I just use a hot towel on my head/neck or take a bath (not too hot... raising your temp is bad for the baby)

Ice cream.... yum. Kt - Tylenol just has never helped with any pain. Advil was what always worked and of course, can't use that I'm gonna try the warm compress. Thanks ladies

When my headaches get really bad, I sometimes lay down on the couch with a towel and an icepack on my head. It helps! 

 

People have said that a half a can of soda (Pepsi, Dr. Pepper) can sometimes help also!

Yeah I get them a ton - especially during the work week. Tylenol does work for me (thank goodness). I take 1 extra strength, which my OB said was OK...but I only take it when my headaches are REALLY bad.

I've honestly tried everything else natural - nothing works. Sometimes I have to sleep with a bag of frozen corn on my temples, that sometimes helps a bit.

I just started getting them really bad too, only this week. It feels like I have daggers right behind my eyes. I toughed it out for a few days, but yesterday I did take Tylenol. It helped but didn't make it go completely away. This morning I had a (small) cup of regular tea and I think the caffeine is helping. I'm going to ask my doctor about it at my appt. this week.

Yup, I've had terrible ones from week 8 and on. They just started to get better a week ago. I had to get a prescription for it from my doctor, pregnancy safe too, because tylenol and caffeine weren't helping me at all. Definitely ask your doctor and see what they can do for you.

I was having awful terrible headaches that nothing would take care of! Tylenol wouldn't even touch the pain. I brought it up to my doc and based on where the pain was he said that I was definitely experiencing sinus headaches and to try buying a humidifier for our bedroom. I run in for about an hour before I go to bed and throughout the night. My headaches are gone! He also suggested Tylenol Sinus, but I haven't had to take any! Good Luck
