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>
