Ugh...early 2nd tri headaches :(

CA2006

I remember this from last time and it's happening again. Headaches every afternoon.  So hard to get through the workday when I can barely focus on my computer screen. Anyone else have this problem?  I take a tylenol and will have some caffeine if it gets bad enough, but they are these dull, throbbing, annoying headaches that just make me want to curl up and go to bed (though what doesn't these days?).

The same thing happens to me, but my headaches stay for days at a time. My doctor said that I could take Aspirin Free Excedrin for headaches. It doesn't help me much - but it might help you. Good Luck!

I know exactly what you mean.  I've had at least one headache a day for the last couple weeks, usually in the afternoon/evenings.    Tylenol helps, but I hate taking it so often (even when I'm not pg).

Yes, I'm going through this now. It's awful. It makes me cry sometimes.

Same here.  I've actually started waking up with them and they last until 5-6pm. I thought it was because I was dehydrated, but I can drink a gallon of water and still have a headache

When I brought up my second trimester headaches with my doctor she gave me a few suggestions. Lowering the amount of red meat I ate helped me tons! It's always worth a try if you're eating red meat more than three times a week.

Yes! I thought I was the only one! Everyday at around 3pm it starts and sometimes I'll have it through the night. I have only taken Tylenol but i wonder if there are other options....

YES!  i've been suffering from this dull aching headache for what feels like the last few days.  ugh.  i'm trying to get through this w/ no tylenol etc... but it's getting more difficult.

I had a headaches on and off and asked my Dr about it and she prescribed Fioricet. This helped really well for the first time I used it...then I maintained a headache for another 4 days and went back in....she doubled my dose and gave me vicoden as a backup incase nothing else helped. I never had to take the vicoden, but out of a 2 wk span I had 3 days without headaches, so I feel your pain.....I started mine early too.

Me me me!! RAISING HAND! I actually was on Topamax for migraines before TTC #3 it helped immensely!!!!!!!!!!! BUt now you cannot take it when TTC or during pregnancy so i am SUFFERING!!!!!!!! 600mg Motrin usually did the job also but of course can't take that! So I try to take tylenol but it does NOTHING! Still have a headache today from yesterday!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! its awful especially when i am supposed to be functioning at work.
