Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Headache question?

For the past week every night around dinner time I've been getting headaches. They have been getting progressivly worse and today it started at lunch and it's 4 am and still here! I guess I need to keep a food log to see if it's something I'm eating but I am curious to know if it might be a hormonal pp thing? Anyone else have this? TIA!

Re: Headache question?

  • Yes and nothing would work. My dr told me to take excidrine. That works. If it didn't he would write a prescription for something. I'm bfing. I'm not sure if it's b/c of allergies, the way I lay in the middle of the night when I bf, or what.

  • I got migraines/head aches almost the whole first trimester and am still getting them 6 weeks pp. My Dr said it's just from the increased hormone level. I just recently stopped BF so she thinks they'll go away with in the next couple of weeks.

    But yes like you I was waking up with a headache every morning. I have always gotten migraines, just got noticeably worse once i got pregnant.

  • I have had migraine's since I was 7.

    I was actually hospitlized when I was pregnant with the twins because I couldn't get it under control and got dehydrated.

    Anyway - I was told not to take excidrine because I was BF, so I take either 800 of motrin or my headache meds, which is pain meds.  Which are safe.
