Headache

I have had a headache for going on three days now!  It isn't too bad most of the time, it throbs like crazy if I stand up quickly, I have managed to not reach for the Tylenol quite yet (although being at work today it is tempting).  Anyone else find they have a constant headache?  I'm 12 weeks today.  My DH thinks maybe my iron is low b/c I also have a tendency to get really lightheaded when I get up in the night to pee.  I'm not sure if maybe it is that or just a regular part of pregnancy.  I do have my next OB appt on Fri so I figure if my head still hurts by then she can try to figure out if anything is wrong.

    I've read that headaches AND lightheaded ness are symptoms of pregnancy. Oh how lovely the first tri is!
    Good luck. Keep hydrated!

    I get a lot of headaches anyway, but they have been pretty bad lately and I think they are common in pregnancy.  I've been taking Tylenol when they are really unbearable, but I don't find they help very much.  Lately I've tried the Tylenol

    I have had daily headaches for about 3 weeks now. I must be a sucky mom to be cause when the doc said Tylenol was ok I had no problem reaching for it! I only take 1 instead of 2... Hope I haven't done my baby wrong!

    I have been taking Tylenol for my headaches too.  Don't suffer through that pain.  Tylenol won't work if you have let the headache escalate to that point where you can't handle it anymore.  I suffer from migraines, so the Tylenol is much pr

    Um, you're pregnant.  Headaches and pregnancy go hand in hand.  Your doctor isn't going to try to find out what's wrong, she is going to tell you (again) to take Tylenol.

    I am fully aware that it is fine for me to take Tylenol, but I have always been the type to avoid taking meds unless I absolutely have too, so being pregnant really is not why I haven't been taking anything.  I know if it gets bad enough I will ha

    I have been having more of these lately. I think it all depends on what you can handle.  I haven't taken anything yet because they have not gotten to that point. However, I think that there is no issue with taking something, or even having a little c
