Headache Remedies?

in Pregnant after 35

Hey Ladies,

So I have gotten over the majority of my symptoms except extreme fatigue.  The past week or so I have had killer headaches.  I know it's hormonal but damn!  I know it's safe to take Tylenol but I feel weird about taking it daily or several times a day.

 Any other remedies you can recommend?

Thanks!

    For me I think some of my headaches are due to not having enough fluid intake. Before becoming pregnant I rarely drank water and it was not uncommon for me to eat a meal and barely have any liquids with it. I've noticed that sometimes when I notice a headache coming on it's on days that i've been lax on my pregnancy H2O regimen. So drinking more water sometimes helps for me. I depends on the type of headache. It in no way helps for migraines which completely stink!

    Sorry about your headaches. I get them too, but actually much less frequency since I've been pregnant. My MIL swears by Tiger Balm. You rub some on your temples. Because I agree with you, I had a headache for 8 days straight and did not feel comfortable popping Tylenol every few hours! Here's a link to a small Tiger Balm, so you don't have to invest as much in case it doesn't work for you! https://www.amazon.com/TIGER-Tiger-Balm-Strength-Travel/dp/B0014AY83U/ref=pd_rhf_cr_shvl4

    I suffer from headaches in life anyway & the pregnant ones were getting awful! My doc told me to take vitamin B-6 daily along with my prenatal. It has helped tremendously!!!

    Hope this helps!

    Drinking plenty of water, some caffiene can help and if worse comes to worse Tylenol is ok to take!  Hope you feel better soon!

    I also notice headaches when I don't get enough water, and I've also been going to an osteopath doctor for a neck adjustment and acupuncture once a week, which has helped a lot.  GL!
