  I'm not sure if you should be worried, but before going to the er you could call your doctor's on call number and they could advise you on what to do. I'm sorry you're experiencing that. I have also been getting horrible tension headaches everyday but not like you have described.

  I usually try a little caffiene for a migraine. If that doesn't work my ob has told me to take excedrine migraine. I would definitely call the ob office and talk to the nurse on call before heading to the er.

  I find a few sips of coke help my headaches! I don't normally drink soda of any kind, but my Ob suggested it last time and it worked

  It is also safe to take Tylenol (the only way I can make it though some days). Could it possibly be allergies? A lot of my migraines stem from change of weather. If that is the case, benadryl or zrytec might help. My infertility dr okay'd the drugs as being safe for me, and that days a lot to me from the trouble I had to get pregnant in the first place!

  I hope you at least called your clinic. Headaches can be associated with preeclampsia/high blood pressure. Jaw pain could mean a few things...TMJ/clenching issues or something bigger.

  My fear is preeclampsia. The headache isn't as bad jow that I've laid down with a cold wash cloth, but my jaw still hurts.

  Try not to worry yourself too much. I know, I do the same thing and its easier said than done. I have a headache at least every other day. Last week since it was Sunday and my OB was closed, my midwife told me  to go to the ER because of an unrelated incident (thought I was leaking amniotic fluid and was very dizzy) I brought up the headaches to the doctor and he told me they are very normal throughout pregnancy. Stay off of google, it personally gives me panic attacks that lead to more headaches and stress, drink a lot of water and even a little caffeine, at this point a little in moderation is fine, and for me a nice shower and a Tylenol always makes me feel better. Feel better mama!
  

  Always hold on to hope ❤

  I was having debilitating headaches for about 10 days. I told my OB, and she said for the type of head ache I was experiencing, she recommended chiropractic care. It has worked wonders for me! Be sure to see a chiropractor who knows how to work with pregnant women. Good luck!

  Call your doc. Don't go to the ER unless advised to by your OB. Have you taken Tylenol yet? I was getting bad headaches, for several days, and I took all the tylenol I could, drank all the caffeine I could, and ate a big meal and went to bed.
  
  Headache = dead.
