They're driving me mad. So intense!

jasbaby2 · May 2015

Yes. My head is killing me and has been for several days now.

Yep me too Tylenol doesn't touch them. I try caffeine, protein, water, carbs...nothing helps

mjzeppelin · May 2015

Same. 13wk 3 day, and for the past 4 days, it's unrelenting. I think maybe more water?

stahlxoxo · May 2015

Yes!! Headaches have been my number one symptom for the whole pregnancy but in the second trimester they have definitely increased. Luckily I am a teacher and am on summer break now so I have found Tylenol, lots of water, and a nap usually takes them away.

Yes!!! I'm on day 4 of a killer headache. I'm 13 wks 5 days. I can't handle it. Nothing helps! Napping, water, eating, caffeine, Tylenol. I'm actually starting to get nausea again (I haven't had it for the last 2 weeks). I feel like a bum. It's Memorial Day weekend and I spent it on the couch. I am calling my doc tomorrow. This is too much for me

13w5d and same here! I sent my uncle to buy Tylenol & he bought Tylenol PM! I love him to death for trying but I am barely willing to take Tylenol.

Headaches are a big second trimester symptom for a lot of women.
My midwife told me to start drinking a little more caffeine.
Some days pushing water helps but a lot of times I get an ocular migraine so all that helps is Tylenol and a dark room.

I'm 14 weeks and have had ongoing headaches for a few weeks now. I feel your pain!!

Falchas · May 2015

Had them really bad with my first, like you said, as soon as I woke up. All. Day. Long. It's so frustrating. Do a search for headaches on this board, there have been a few posts and people have some good ideas on how to deal. There is a light at the end of the tunnel; mine started right around 14-15 weeks, lasted a month and then disappeared, never to return. I hope the same for you.

I was recently advised to start upping my caffeine intake, too. The NP at my last appointment told me that I was probably making my headaches worse by trying to cut back so drastically.

I've also found that with tension headaches a cold compress to the back of my neck or forehead really helps. All the things previously mentions are also incredibly helpful, I just hadn't seen that mentioned yet on this discussion.

I'm 16w today and i've been having headaches alot these past few weeks. i don't know if they are tension or sinus but they are pretty bad. i've only taken tylenol once because I just couldn't get any relief with anything else.

Laurakat81 · May 2015

Yep, lots of headaches here too. I only had one headache (it lasted two or three days) with DD around 14 weeks and didn't have another headache until we quit breastfeeding at 17 months so I kind of expected that this pregnancy would be the same and it was one of the big things I told my husband I was excited about since I tend to get headaches a lot throughout my cycles. No such luck. Almost daily headaches for weeks. Sucks.

Meganb005 · May 2015

Day 5 of headaches and I gave up and called my doc and got a prescription. I took it 2 1/2 hours ago and I still feel like crap. My husband told me yesterday that he wants to go back to the nausea because headaches make me mean... Oops!!

MaeMae91 · May 2015

I get really bad headaches all the time, and something that helped me was reflexology, or foot zoning. Go to someone who's worked on pregnant ladies before, and I it can really help!

jojop627 · May 2015

Yes! This has helped for me too. I got a hot/cold pack from Rite Aid and it helps for tension headaches to use it as a hot pack on the back of my neck/shoulders, then as a cold pack on my forehead.

momtolevi2 · May 2015

My first pregnancy I had migraines every single day for my whole second trimester. Unfortunately it's caused by hormone changes and there's not much you can do besides take Tylenol or try oils. Nothing worked for me

kdagher · May 2015

Starting 2nd trimester tomorrow..... Yes I have been having headaches and I realized it was because the lack of caffeine. My doctor said it is okay to still have a little coffee. So I have my half cup every morning. I don't have any more headaches AND if helps me stay awake longer

Peppermint oil has been what has helped me.... helps with the headaches and any morning sickness that is lingering
