I get migraines outside of pregnancy. And the ones during it have been even worse! :(</p> <p>I could only take Tylenol Extra Strength... Sometimes a cup of coffee and an ice pack on the headache helped relieve some tension! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headache-what-can-i-take#post-240046 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 15:04:20 +0000 MrsCastro 240046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I think i am 4 weeks.

Still need to hit up target for some Tylenol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headache-what-can-i-take#post-240030 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 14:36:57 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 240030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always did tylenol and caffeine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headache-what-can-i-take#post-239877 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 09:28:17 +0000 heffalump 239877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far along are you? Massage is great but not recommended for first trimester. Peppermint oil works well too. And a heating pad, but you don't want to leave that on for too long because you don't want your body temp to get too high. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headache-what-can-i-take#post-239871 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 09:21:16 +0000 boiledpnut 239871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctor also said caffeine. If it's late in the day or the caffeine doesn't work, I'll resort to Tylenol though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headache-what-can-i-take#post-239747 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 05:42:38 +0000 sorrycharlie 239747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB said Tylenol, but if it's extra strength, only a 1/2 dose. She recommended caffeine, actually - she said a can of coke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headache-what-can-i-take#post-239696 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 21:57:22 +0000 SleepyMonkey 239696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i took tylenol, but found that caffeine worked a lot better for my headaches. a cup of black tea did the trick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headache-what-can-i-take#post-239695 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 21:57:04 +0000 kokobee 239695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCastro: babycenter has a list!</p> <p><a href="http://www.babycenter.com/0_chart-over-the-counter-medications-during-pregnancy_1486462.bc" rel="nofollow">http://www.babycenter.com/0_chart-over-the-counter-medications-during-pregnancy_1486462.bc</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headache-what-can-i-take#post-239693 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 21:55:42 +0000 78h2o 239693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's crappy, but only Tylenol. I get a lot of migraines, and both my OB and neurologist said Tylenol, a little caffeine, and/or an ice pack, Also A LOT of water and sleep.</p> <p>How far along are you? If your headache is sinus-pressue related, you might also take Benedryl or even pseudophedrine (but personally I wouldn't take pseudophedine in the first tri).</p> <p>Hope you feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headache-what-can-i-take#post-239687 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 21:49:55 +0000 skibobrown 239687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tylenol. Unfortunately, it doesn't work nearly as well on headaches as Advil does, but you're not supposed to take Advil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headache-what-can-i-take#post-239686 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 21:49:38 +0000 doodlepoodle 239686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tylenol is all my Dr told me I could take, pre-pregnancy I had migraines pretty bad and she said if they stayed bad she could prescribe Tylenol 3 so you could ask your doctor about that. She also said to drink a half of a can of coca-cola with it if it was a doozy, that acts a little bit like the caffeine in Excedrine.</p> <p>**ETA: I'm SO not a doctor or anything close so I'm sorry if your Dr thinks I'm cray-cray!!** </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headache-what-can-i-take#post-239683 Sat, 28 Jul 2012 21:45:28 +0000 MrsCastro 239683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of remember someone posting a medication list of items that are safe to take. </p> <p>What can I take for a headache. I have had one pretty much every day this week. </p>
