Headaches

semicolon · December 2016

Anyone else getting almost daily headaches? I drink a tea latte to help most days, for the caffeine.

I would love to hear how you're getting rid of yours.

I do! Ugh, it really really blows. I drink a half caff cup of coffee from my Keurig whenever I have a headache and that seems to help, since I usually just drink decaf otherwise. If my head is really bad I take Tylenol in addition to the caffeine and that sometimes helps. If not, I stick an ice pack on my head.

I heard that headaches are the most common 2nd trimester symptom.

*lurking from July 2017*
ive had some bad headaches too! Tylenol doesn't work and I don't want to take to many. I've been using peppermint essential oil. I have a diffuser but you can buy headache blends premixed with a carrier oil from etsy. You don't want to put the peppermint oil on your skin it will burn.

If that doesn't work I also take a hot shower and sit so the stream is hitting the back of my neck. Relaxing and helps with the headache. But you can't always shower.

Ugh I've had a headache for 2 days!!! Tylenol did nothing yesterday. I always took ibuprofen before but I can't now!! I've been having 1 pop a day and trying to stay hydrated. It's been on and off today. I probably won't take Tylenol again unless it's really severe.

I drink coffee to try to take it away, but it doesn't really help. Hedaches during pregnancy suck!

Magnesium supplements! I'm a migraine sufferer outside of pregnancy. I get pretty severe headaches when pregnant, magnesium is the only thing that helps.

I've been getting them almost every afternoon. It's not a horrible one but more of a dull lingering one. I haven't really taken anything for them. I usually just try to lay down and relax. Not always possible tho

Every damn day. I'm using Peppermint Halo roller from Sage, 3-4 litres of water per day, lots of sleep and reducing stimulation. Still hits me once a week with a debilitating stay in bed all day sort of one.

I have daily headaches. This morning it was so bad I couldn't keep my eyes open. Getting up for work was a struggle.

Anyone seeing a constipation/headache connection?

JAGinMI · December 2016

This has been my most common symptom but it's still not daily, thankfully. Nothing has ever worked for me other than pain meds so I take Tylenol. I hate taking it but I cannot deal with my headaches. I seriously have to check out from life when one comes on because the pain takes over my brain and I never have any idea when they will be gone unless I take Tylenol. For example, last night, I went to bed feeling the slightest, tiniest inkling a headache was coming on. I woke up and it was full-on! I don't understand how a full 8 hours of sleep cannot cure a headache, let alone make it worse!

Ugh the headaches are killer! It seem no amount of water or caffeine helps me. Tylenol does occasionally. I'm going to ask my doctor about magnesium next week!

hjphillips · December 2016

Yes. I'm a migraine sufferer, myself, and nothing aside from meds and good, old fashioned rest seem to work for me. I can't take Tylenol (had an actual addiction to the stuff after a car accident as a kid, so it just doesn't vibe well with me), so I'm mostly just suffering through it. It sucks.

@Assiram42 I totally forgot that my OB recommended magnesium supplements! Going to chalk that one up to pregnancy brain. I need to pick some up! These headaches are starting to be daily for me now.

kdanjou · December 2016

Yeah, I get them all the time too. If it's during the day I eat a large chocolate truffle (hehe) or drink an 8oz coke and I swear it helps. At night I just suffer.

mkrel · December 2016

I just started having this problem on Thursday, and they have been bad every day. I sent a mesaage to my OB this morning because I generally never get headaches, and the severity is freaking me out a little. I am hoping for a call back to confirm it is normal (even though I am certain it is after reading this). I will have to ask about the magnesium supplements!!

semicolon · December 2016

@Knottie42089123 Nope. But I'm never constipated. I don't eat meat, egg, or milk products (which tend to be most people's culprits).

brooklynmama718 · December 2016

I made an appointment to see a neurologist as per ob gyn's orders. Unfortunately, it's not until January 20th! I take Tylenol and in extreme cases, advil is ok before third trimester. Coupled with nausea it's a migraine.
