Headache remedies?

in April 2015 Moms
I'm an Advil addict typically but since it's not safe now I am miserable! I literally have been sleeping with an ice pack under my neck. I'm sure I can thank hormones but does anyone have ideas to make this hurt less?

    Tylenol (allowed). Ice pack. Dark room. A little bit of caffeine.

    All these things. I alternate between hot and cold packs depending on what seems to be working. Last night - nothing seemed to help. I think mine is allergy/sinus related so I'm really missing my Sudafed D. I'm also busting out the neti pot tonight.

    I got really bad headache contributed to allergies. Zyrtec is allowed and worked wonders during last and this pregnancy.

    Mine is from muscle problems in my neck and back. I'm taking a unison tonight to help me sleep and hopefully relax better. We'll see if it helps. Chiropractor straightened it out today but now it's very inflamed.

    If someone can give you a light scalp massage that usually helps me! Ice packs are definitely my go to remedy too :)

    I would not use an ice pack. Cold restricts blood vessels. Restricted blood flow is counterproductive for headaches, use a warm compress instead

    Mine is a cup of coffee/coke (depending on the time of day), tylenol, and a glass of water.

    Tylenol, lots of water, ice backs or warm showers. Maybe position your head differently on your pillow? Hope your headaches subside.

    I had cut out cokes months ago (6 or so) but since have been drinking sprite when I felt nauseated and a Dr. Pepper when a headache came about. Seems to be helping so far...

     

    DH was worried the other night because my head felt as though it was going to explode - he checked my blood pressure and blood sugar and both were normal.

    CoQ10. It's been clinically proven to stop migraines, and it's a naturally derived nutrient. No testing on pregnant women, but my MD said it was ok to take for pain.

    I suffer from migraines and previously my migraines disappeared when pregnant but this time they haven't however my OB sent me a paper on Magnesium and you can get it over the counter and you can take up to 400 mg per day and it's perfectly safe
