I have been fortunate enough to totally evade morning sickness, but I have been plagued with headaches all day every day for a good three weeks now. I know I can take acetaminophen, but I really don't want to be taking it all the time. I've tried heat and it doesn't do much, cold makes it worse. It's usually in the back of my neck where my neck meets the bottom of my head and spreads from there in a tension headache way.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Pain relief without meds? My OB basically told me tough cookies.
Re: Headaches?
Relax, warm bathes, if you cut out a lot of caffeine a little caffiene could help, sleep.
I have been having bad headaches as well. Tylenol does nothing.. it sucks!

I was actually hospitalized a few weeks ago for two nights due to dehydration and an incontractible migraine. I was dehydrated and LO started having lower fetal heart tones. I was given demerol, nausea meds and lots and lots of fluid.
I was prescribed Fioricet before that migraine due to daily headaches... it did not help though. Currently I have headaches daily and migraines lasting over 24 hours twice a week. I have seen the high risk dr. and am going to see a neurologist that has worked with pregnant women on Monday....
My advice is if it is really bothering you, let the OB know. I was in with the same complaint 3x and then wound up hospitalized. Caffeine helps occasionally, ice seems to help as well as laying in a dark room. Otherwise it is pretty miserable and I feel your pain... literally.
