Hello all,
I am exactly 17 weeks today. For about two weeks already I have been experiencing really bad headaches from hell. Prior to being pregnant I used to suffer from tension headaches and that's what these headaches remind me of. I have been trying not to take any Tylenol or caffeine but I feel like my hands are tied. Cold and hot compresses seem to work, but only when I am home. It is hard to do that at work. Anyone out there try anything natural that has helped them? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Also, I do not have high BP and all my blood work came back fine for anything else.
Thanks!

And make sure you're drinking enough water!
Lusitano8babykasper thank you ladies. I shoot for a gallon of water a day, and have been successful with keeping that up. i thought it was that too but not sure if i should be drinking more? my doc has told me I can do caffeine with tylenol together. my aunt told me today that raw potato slices on my temples should help too! and that ACV seems to be the cure all!! literally it is good for everything. thank you for sharing that!!!

ETA: My doctor said to drink at least half my weight in oz of water each day, more if I'm active. (Ex: if you weigh 160, you'd drink 80oz of water and add a glass or so for extra activity beyond sitting.) Since I'm on my feet a lot at work and at home, I usually feel good if I drink my .75 my weight in oz.
