Headaches :/ anyone with me?

in March 2015 Moms
Almost 13 weeks and ever since I found out I've been getting pretty much weekly headaches. Anyone else? Anyone got any good remedies for them ? I try to what I can to make Tylenol my last resort as first i make sure I'm hydrated and have eaten but lately that's not working . Luckily with my son's pregnancy I never had headaches even after being diagnosed with pre e . So this is a new fun recurring symptom. :(

    I just stared getting headaches a week ago (14 weeks now). It's been annoying since I am also trying to stay away from Tylenol. I had an ongoing one Friday and Saturday but thank goodness it went away today. Not sure if it was dehydration or running around with no rest for two days. Today I am taking it easy and hoping that'll do the trick.

    I'm with you, I've had a dull headache for over a week now (will be 14 wks tomorrow). I have no tips though I only resort to Tylenol as a last resort, other than that I just try and tough it out

    Yes, wicked migraines. I have three other kids, so mine happen mostly when I'm exhausted and dehydrated. The only thing that works for me is sleep!

    Yes, I've been getting headaches in conjunction with nasal congestion and nose bleeds. :(    In my non pregnant life I think I've had 1 nosebleed ever ... so this is annoying.

    I don't take anything, I just try to wait it out. The worst one lasted for a full 2 days. Sleep did nothing. Went to sleep with the headache, woke up with the headache. It sucked.

    Good times! Ugh.

    Every single day in the afternoon. Ice packs on the neck and head work wonders and a Coke. I know we have to limit the caffiene intake but the one coke with 35 mg seems to do the trick with the headaches.

    I am also with you on this 1, I've been getting them for just over a week and I'm 14weeks today. I have heard it's a sign of pre e is that true?? I have resorted from taking anything so far but drinking lots isn't helping!! Xx

    This is going sound ridiculous. .. but my mom told me to wash a potato and slice it very thinly... and put those slices on my forehead. Somehow that worked wonders... it took away a 48 hr headache

    Yup! I only get migraines when I'm pregnant... Luckily for me it started at 8 weeks this pregnancy instead of 23 weeks like my last pregnancy.... I talked to my doctor about it, he gave me a script for Tylenol 3 for worst case scenario use but I'm not convinced I want to take it. I generally try to avoid all meds when pregnant but sometimes you just have to be able to function :/

    Same...I started getting headaches at a little over 14 weeks. A coke usually works, and I occasionally take Tylenol once or twice a week.

    So annoying because I never got headaches before!

    I have gotten regular headaches and migraines since I was a kid, and my normal prescription is not pg safe. My OB said once you're out of the first tri, a dose of caffeine is the best solution. So, a single cup of coffee. I'm not normally a coffee drinker, but I found if I can get down even half a cup (with tons of milk) helps keep headaches at bay.

    Ugh, yes but I also have HG and headaches are a side effect to zofran. Drink as much water as you can!

    Yep, since day 1 I've been pretty much getting a headache daily. Dr. recommended Excedrin Migraine, so that's what I've been taking.

    As of late I've been getting them more, yesterday ALL day but thankfully it's gone today. I'm trying to drink even more water, although I know I drink tons as it is.

    Headaches here too. I've found laying down with ice packs on the back of my head/neck and on my forehead help a bit. Plenty of water and naps help, and a little caffeine works too. If you used to drink lots of caffeine it could be withdrawals from that.

    Headaches here too. Cool compresses on the forehead seem to be the only remedy for me. I might try a Coke now if a bad one hits at work.

    I am with you headaches all the time! I found that if I stay hydrated, drink tons of water then I usually don't have one.

    Such a bummer that so many of us are dealing with this. I do ice packs on my neck and eyes. Lie on a tennis ball with it placed right at the base of your head for ten minutes it helps relieve some of the pressure.
    I also started yoga and that seems to help the daily headaches.
    My sis is a chiropractor that specializes in prenatal and post partum care, I don't live by her but am looking for a chiropractor that does the same.
    Good luck ladies!!! Sometimes when it's really bad I look at my ultra sound and remind myself how worth it is!

    I take Tylenol or drink a little coffee. Seems to help most of the time, but not always.
    Last night i guzzled water and it was the first time in a long time I didn't have wicked headaches at work.
    I wonder if I just get dehydrated...

    With you :/ everytime I get a headache, I drink a bottle of water then put at ice pack on the back of my neck while soaking my feet in warm water. Helps draw the pressure out of my head.

    As soon as I hit 2nd trimester my doc said I could take excedrin migraine! But I can't take it in my 3rd. I've only broken down and taken it twice but it's the only thing that helps!

    I got migraines with my first and this time around they are just beginning this pregnancy also. The only thing that keeps then away is sleeping with a pillow between my legs. If your head aches start at the base of the back of your neck it is related to your spine changes.

    I hope one of the suggestions help you because they are the worst!
