They are a big part of pregnancy for me. This weekend was killer. I try to make sure I am very well hydrated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-1#post-2555434 Tue, 24 May 2016 11:28:35 +0000 Paddington10 2555434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had terrible headaches end of 1st trimester, beginning of 2nd. Tylenol barely helped! Then (knock on wood) they went away at around 18 weeks. I figured it was a blood flow issue. I also tried to keep incredibly hydrated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-1#post-2543345 Fri, 06 May 2016 16:07:26 +0000 hb3233 2543345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's a tension headache that happens when you wake up, there's a good chance it comes from clenching your jaw, or grinding your teeth, when sleeping. This could result from a different sleeping position, or just stress. Maybe try a mouth guard, and also gently massaging knots out of your shoulders/back with a tennis ball before going to bed? If you're tense to start with you are more likely to clench your jaw while asleep... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-1#post-2543322 Fri, 06 May 2016 15:49:54 +0000 gingerbebe 2543322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor told me to eat something with fat, sugar, and carbs in it, so I started drinking fruit smoothies with coconut oil and full fat yogurt and it helped a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-1#post-2543319 Fri, 06 May 2016 15:46:43 +0000 Goldengirl 2543319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I've been drinking lots. The pain also goes into the neck and shoulders so I guess it's a tension thing. Hopefully doesn't last forever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-1#post-2542348 Thu, 05 May 2016 15:02:53 +0000 SweetiePie 2542348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pregnancy headaches were awful! I got them all the time in the first tri and definitely throughout. But first tri was the worst. I had to leave work several times and it was hard because none of them knew yet that I was pregnant. So it was hard to explain why I couldn't just take an Advil. I mean I'm pretty sure they were migraines because I couldn't concentrate and my vision got blurry. But it was still weird to them that they just started happening out of nowhere.<br /> It does get better! I've heard drinking a coke helps or a small cup of coffee. I either never tried that or don't remember!<br /> ETA: eventually I couldn't handle them anymore and my doc told me it was fine to take Tylenol. So I did. And it was amazing. </p> <p>I even think I have more headaches now since having him (20 months ago). But maybe that's because I don't eat or drink anything 😂😳 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-1#post-2542341 Thu, 05 May 2016 14:52:09 +0000 Mrs. Marshmallow 2542341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: Ugh yes! They were actually HORRIBLE around 11 weeks for me!</p> <p>I'm 14 weeks now, and have headaches for the past three days. </p> <p>I'm trying to avoid taking something and upping my water... but it's not helping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-1#post-2542326 Thu, 05 May 2016 14:41:03 +0000 psw27 2542326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had terrible headaches end of 1st trimester, beginning of 2nd. I figured it was hormonal. They did go away pretty quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-1#post-2542317 Thu, 05 May 2016 14:36:30 +0000 Paddington10 2542317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, hideous headaches from 12 weeks on!! HYDRATE! Also ice packs have helped me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-1#post-2542314 Thu, 05 May 2016 14:33:43 +0000 catlady 2542314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been getting them on and off when I wake up. Every time I get one, I realize it's because I am not drinking enough (I sort of hate the taste of water right now). Are you staying hydrated? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-1#post-2542289 Thu, 05 May 2016 14:03:45 +0000 Littlebit7 2542289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you changed your sleeping position at all? maybe you were a back or stomach sleeper and now you're a side sleeper? If so maybe adjust your pillows </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-1#post-2542263 Thu, 05 May 2016 13:46:34 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2542263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the same - migraines at the beginning of the 2nd trimester. I drastically upped my water intake &amp; took a full dose of Tylenol at the first sign. Mostly that helped. They went away after a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-1#post-2542169 Thu, 05 May 2016 12:46:30 +0000 ValentineMommy 2542169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lot of headaches (including in the morning) with my first pregnancy. I think it's fairly normal/typical. Maybe because of the increased bloodflow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-1#post-2542048 Thu, 05 May 2016 11:01:14 +0000 Goldengirl 2542048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the past week or so I've been having some bad tension headaches. They're usually happening in the morning, right when I wake up, which makes me a bit nervous because if you look up "wake up with headache", lots of scary stuff comes up!</p> <p>Did anyone else experience this? Did they eventually ease up? I'm 11.5 weeks so just at the end of the first tri... other symptoms seem to be disappearing, but now these headaches are popping up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-screams#post-2541661 Wed, 04 May 2016 21:59:56 +0000 Navywifemama 2541661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caterw: LOL he loves the reaction from us and I think that is why he smiles afterwards.. his smile melts my heart so of course he continues to scream and smile at us.. He has a silly little sense of humor already. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-screams#post-2541658 Wed, 04 May 2016 21:58:05 +0000 Navywifemama 2541658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rocker2014: Haha, thanks for the advice!! I appreciate everyone's helpful tips for this. If he gets a kick out of it and I know he isn't hurt or in danger of getting hurt then I won't worry.. I think a part of it is me, being a new mom and so everything is new to me too. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-screams#post-2541640 Wed, 04 May 2016 21:24:21 +0000 caterw 2541640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think a lot of kids do this- including mine. He just figured out how to make this noise for fun and he is getting quite a reaction from mama and dada! I would just ignore it if he seems happy and eventually he will find a new favorite noise or thing to do. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-screams#post-2541626 Wed, 04 May 2016 21:04:08 +0000 Rocker2014 2541626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friends and I call this the pterodactyl stage, because it sounds like we imagine a large flying dinosaur would! </p> <p>He's found a fun new skill, it will eventually not be as much fun and he'll move onto something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-screams#post-2541606 Wed, 04 May 2016 20:46:25 +0000 Navywifemama 2541606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: LOL, yeah he totally has and loves it. I will try some of the things you mentioned and see if any of it helps when it does do it and see what kind of reaction I get. Thank you for the advice! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-screams#post-2541600 Wed, 04 May 2016 20:44:15 +0000 Navywifemama 2541600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: Yeah, I can see that... makes total sense, he knows by doing it, he will get a reaction from someone. Thanks for the advice. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-screams#post-2541586 Wed, 04 May 2016 20:33:35 +0000 MrsSRS 2541586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try not to react! He's found a cool new sound and of course wants to practice, but the real appeal is that his new trick gets your attention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-screams#post-2541573 Wed, 04 May 2016 20:23:27 +0000 Maysprout 2541573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's found a special power :wink:<br /> I would just tease him and go over and cover your ears, cover his ears, let him see you be silly while you overreact and say 'ow my ears', maybe fall over from it, try and get him to laugh. Then distract him with a different game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-screams#post-2541568 Wed, 04 May 2016 20:17:41 +0000 catomd00 2541568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's not a whole lot you can do to actually change it. I would just start practicing inside voice. I used to over emphasize it by whispering and saying please use your inside voice like this. But, yeah at 7 months nothing is actually going to change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-screams#post-2541565 Wed, 04 May 2016 20:14:45 +0000 Navywifemama 2541565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi, I am new to this site and this is my first post. I am a first time mom and have a happy 7 month old son.. Lately he has been screaming and I mean it is high pitch, blood curdling, hair stands on ends screams and he often smiles when screaming. He has a little walker that he uses and seems to do most of the screaming while walking around in it and once I or my husband looks at him, he smiles and then stops just to start up again once we look away. The screaming is horrible and I am not sure what to do about it if I should even do anything. He obviously won't understand that he is being loud or hurting our ears and it's not a fussy kind of scream at all... he seems happy when he screams and squeals. Is anyone else going through this or has anyone gone through this? I don't know what to do and I only have so much tylenol to take for the headaches. Any advice?? :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-pregnancy-headaches#post-2181874 Mon, 18 May 2015 13:37:22 +0000 Keybee 2181874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have been getting lots of tension headaches. The pregnancy has flared up my TMJ issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-pregnancy-headaches#post-2181266 Mon, 18 May 2015 00:15:01 +0000 sarac 2181266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine were hormonal - I know all of my headache triggers, and I'd made sure to avoid them all. Before I got pregnant the first time, I was still having them from time to time even with careful attention to triggers. Then I got pregnant, and they just vanished. Until 17 weeks, and then I had them for a few weeks, and then they left again. </p> <p>Also, check your protein intake and make sure you're getting 70g a day or more. I used to have daily headaches, and a lack of protein was the reason. Getting enough reduced them by about 80%. Also cutting down on salt and getting enough iron in my diet. Oh, and watch your electrolytes - in the summer when I exercise, I have to make sure to up my salt intake a bit with sports drinks. Otherwise I get a bad headache with nausea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-pregnancy-headaches#post-2181144 Sun, 17 May 2015 20:02:09 +0000 MrsADS 2181144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get them occasionally, definitely worse than pre-preg headaches. Tylenol + caffeine + hydration but even that usually just barely takes the edge off. Sucks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-pregnancy-headaches#post-2181077 Sun, 17 May 2015 18:38:39 +0000 Me3 2181077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You have all my sympathies! I had bad headaches around the same time. Sometimes they would last for a few days. I never really could kick them--even with Tylenol and some caffeine. Eventually I just stopped getting them--definitely before 20 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-pregnancy-headaches#post-2181062 Sun, 17 May 2015 18:23:16 +0000 paigeface 2181062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I too had a lot of headaches around that time of pregnancy. They went away around the 16 week mark. Hang in there! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-anyone-have-pregnancy-headaches#post-2181035 Sun, 17 May 2015 17:21:40 +0000 wrkbrk 2181035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: oh no! yes, i know exactly what you mean! i have constant thumping on one side only for about 50 hours of any given week. :( </p>
