I feel like I have had a constant headache since Friday. I am drinking lots of water and eating. Anyone else, suggestions?

    I've been getting constant headaches for the past week. When I asked my OB eating and drinking lots of water was suggested. I was told I could take 2 Tylenol Extra Strength every 6 hours but not to exceed 3,000mg in a 24 hour span of time. Also, I find that when possible, napping really helps! Even a quick 30-45 minute nap. I took a short nap at my mom's tonight due to a crippling headache while I waited for my brother to stop by with tylenol. Apparently I was the only one in the house who used Tylenol so my mom no longer keeps it in the house!

    Try eating a handful of almonds. I know it sounds crazy but it helps. I have had headaches during my pregnancy and it helps a lot!!

    I've recently started getting headaches too. I was the type of person that before pregnancy had a headache almost every day. When I got pregnant...they disappeared! It. Was. Glorious. Now they are back :( I'll have to try the almonds thing. Tylenol/naps have been my saving grace.

    I had a headache that turned into a migraine since Thursday. Thankfully, it went away this morning. The thing that helped me the most was to put a cold ice bag at the base of my neck, and a weighted bag on top of my head. It finally allowed me to fall asleep. Sometimes, there is no relief and it's just a waiting game. Hopefully they start to subside soon!

    The first week I knew I was pregnant I had headaches every day. They went away and now 4 and a half weeks later it is back. Have been holding off all day on the tylenol, but I don't see this one just going away.

    I've been getting headaches too. It looks like my nausea has been traded in for headaches. I try to take Tylenol as a last resort, but I woke up with head ache this morning and took two right away. I was at work and started to get another one and had a muffin and a decaf mocha. It went away. It's weird but I'm not even a major coffee drinker but the little bit of caffeine and sugar seemed to help. Maybe I'm not eating enough. Gonna bring it up with my OB next visit.

    Same thing for me over the weekend. I chalked it up to tons of pollen.

    I am a headache sufferer pre-pregnancy as well and I swore by Head On.  Yes, those menthol stick things that you rub on your temples.  WORKS. WONDERS.  Whenever I get a bad headache migraine, I pop two advil/aleve (or Tylenol now) and rub Head On all over my forehead/temples.  Then I rest in a dark room/place and wait for everything to work.  It does smell mentholy but it really really works for me.  I haven't used it since being pregnant but I'm going out to buy some since I've been experiencing headaches as well.

    I got tension headaches frequently while pregnant with DD. I found caffiene helped. They make Tylenol with added caffiene specifically for tension headaches. You might want to try it.
