Sorry you're dealing with these, they're awful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062982 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 16:27:45 +0000 MrsH 1062982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of water and some caffeine or Tylenol. Pressure changes lately probably don't help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062923 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 16:06:11 +0000 artsyfartsy 1062923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't go a day without a headache. It's awful. I try not to take Tylenol if I can help it but most of the time I just have to give in. I rest a lot. I haven't thought of drinking caffiene!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062903 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 15:57:25 +0000 Bluebonnet 1062903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently headaches are a common symptom at the end of the first trimester/beginning of the second trimester. At my last OB appointment, my doctor told me this will kick in about the same time morning sickness eases. I don't remember headaches with my first, but I've had a few with LO#2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062880 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 15:51:01 +0000 wahine08 1062880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry! I'm also getting headaches although I am a normal headache sufferer, so I can usually power through them. Caffiene helps me! I didn't stop drinking coffee (just cut down a lot, a cup a day) but I'm positive this helps my headaches from getting any worse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062863 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 15:46:27 +0000 runsyellowlites 1062863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Tylenol is class C due to possibly having negative effects on baby's liver if taken too much (not sure what "too much" is).. That's what the literature I've read said anyways. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062731 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 15:02:26 +0000 heffalump 1062731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Too much tylenol can be an issue- the baby can get addicted. This is what my doctor told me during my last pregnancy.... with no advice on what to do instead. </p> <p>My migraines are pretty crazy, so bad that I'm on prescriptions for them. I'm on prednisone and I have some narcotics for when they get bad. Non prescription/med things that I do are massages, peppermint oil, heating pad, and just laying down. Also obviously I try to avoid triggers, but that's not always so easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062541 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 13:48:27 +0000 Foodnerd81 1062541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt horrible taking Tylenol for my headaches (early onset mommy guilt) but it and a little caffeine helped some. I had the worst headaches if my life I the first trimester. What finally helped me was acupuncture- it seriously changed my life. I went from several very bad headaches a week to 2 or 3 mild ones for the entire second half I'd my pregnancy! It took about six sessions to work but its amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062530 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 13:43:07 +0000 Caly 1062530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since Tylenol has never worked for my headaches, my dr recommended Fioricet which is the only thing that's helped. Hope you're able to find something that works for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062491 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 13:31:47 +0000 runsyellowlites 1062491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I took Tylenol when I was pregnant with P but decided to stop after looking into it. I wasn't comfortable with it being a class C pregnancy drug even though its on the "safe" list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062485 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 13:29:58 +0000 Bao 1062485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys! I will try a bit if caffeine. I was taking a tylenol here and there but wasn't sure how much was ok. I try and rest when A naps but that's not always an option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062405 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 13:13:50 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1062405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: I'm sorry :-( I actually was going to make a thread for the same thing because I have had so many this time and none last time. I drink some caffeine and take Tylenol... sometimes it helps, sometimes it does nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062368 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 13:02:27 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 1062368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coke, Tylenol &amp; a quiet/ dark room for 20 min if you can. I also have been going to the chiropractor. My neck has always been out of wack which causes my headaches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062325 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 12:54:14 +0000 LovelyPlum 1062325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, just commiserating. They're awful. Coke and Tylenol seem to help some, as does a nap, when I can get one in. Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062295 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 12:43:08 +0000 runsyellowlites 1062295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used peppermint oil (a dab on temples, behind ears, &amp; base of neck if it was radiating) &amp; some caffeine if it was heading toward migraine-ville. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062290 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 12:40:44 +0000 shopaholic 1062290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Tylenol and caffeine also. OB ok'd them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062267 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 12:36:25 +0000 MrsTiz 1062267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Caffeine! I got headaches all.the.time in the first and second tri's. They tapered off towards the end of the 2nd, and now I get them rarely in the 3rd. So, it does get better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062263 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 12:35:25 +0000 loveisstrange 1062263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>God yes. I had non-stop migraines. Taking a Tylenol and drinking a little caffeine works wonders. Sometimes just the caffeine works too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/headaches-in-pregnancy#post-1062252 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 12:33:44 +0000 Bao 1062252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been getting a lot of headaches during this pregnancy, which I don't remember getting with A. Does anyone know how to ease them? What causes them? Did they let up at all throughout pregnancy? </p>
