Headache for 3 days... :(

SJBride05 · March 2010

Any other remedies besides Tylenol?

NCSW · March 2010

Are you well hydrated? Aside from tons of water and Tylenol, I don't have anything to suggest.

Sorry your head hurts!

mcunningham · March 2010

have you had any caffeine? normally a coke with tylenol will help a bunch for my headaches/migraines.

Mrs.K&C · March 2010

Caffiene. I have one soda every morning because I get brutal headaches otherwise. Most of the time the soda does it, occasionally I have to take Tylenol, too but that's rare. My OB is the one that told me to do that when I started getting them with S. She said have a cup of coffee and a sudafed, but I don't take either so I do the soda/tylenol thing. I'm still way, way below the daily max recommended for caffeine.

Ditto Renee with the water. Like LOTS and LOTs of water.

I had this too. Besides tylenol, I put a hot, hot washcloth over my eyes and forehead, which seemed to help.

Eww...I remember the headache. Ditto the caffeine, tylenol and sometimes a nap or rest.

I hope you feel better soon - that is no fun.

Hugs..

I would also recommend some caffeine and tylenol

or sometimes fresh air/a walk helps me.

abfabmama · March 2010

Light exercise of some kind - walk, jog, whatever. 2 extra strength tylenol, 1 can of coke, and a nap should help.

My SIL had pregnancy related headaches the first trimester. Her doctor recommended a caffeinated beverage and lots of water.

SJBride05 · March 2010

Ok...sipping on a small coffee. I hope this does the trick! It's been MONTHS since I've had a regular coffee (even before I got PG.)

Mrs.K&C · March 2010

And I hate to say it, but my OB said once you start getting them you get them the rest of your pregnancy

BUT, that's why I start every day with a soda - it keeps it at bay. If I don't have it, I get a headache and then it's tough to get rid of. Best to keep it away if you can.

I hope the coffee does the trick!

I remember drinking a real coke at 10am in the first tri. It helped my stomach and my head.

MrsEmm · March 2010

peppermint essential oil. i rub it on my temples and massage it into the spot between my thumb & pointer finger and it helps sometimes.

neck massage from DH sometimes helps too.?

or a cool dark room when nothing else works. ?

I had a headache for most of my 1st trimester. It was brutal. I second lots and lots and lots of water. I also napped when I could which made a big difference. When it was really bad and even a tylenol wouldn't help I would have some caffine - just a small amount like a few sips made a huge difference.

m&m818 · March 2010

Ditto the soda and water. Lots of water.

kala1682 · March 2010

ahhhhhhhh I had that last week! Unfortunately the only thing that worked for me was laying down in the dark.

magnesium

SweetieP · March 2010

I had HORRIBLE headaches the first tri and nothing seemed to help. I upped my water to over 100oz a day....limited salt...took tylenol...and had a soda every now and then and I just couldn't get rid of them.
