I'm feeling a little better today. I'm actually starting to think it may be sinus pressure... so I think I'm going to try taking sudafed (which is doctor approved). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-headaches#post-171971 Tue, 29 May 2012 10:57:05 +0000 kml636 171971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got some too, I heard they are from all the hormones. I got through it, but I know a lot of people found drinking coke worked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-headaches#post-171723 Tue, 29 May 2012 08:45:48 +0000 littlebug 171723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had migraines and headaches for years. What helped me was when my doctor started me on a supplement of 1000mg of magnesium a day. It cut my migraines way back (from missing work once a month to missing work once every 4-5 months). My OB approved continuing the supplement during pregnancy, so maybe check with yours about it. My OB also offered fioricet if my migraines get bad again during pregnancy. At 7 weeks, so far so good, but I am feeling more and more headachy as the pregnancy progresses. I'm hoping it doesn't get to full-blown migraine territory. </p> <p>Good luck to you! Chronic headaches are the WORST. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-headaches#post-171712 Tue, 29 May 2012 08:41:12 +0000 LuLu Mom 171712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If Tylenol doesn't work for me, I have to lay in complete darkness and silence with cold compressions, also I have to drink water (not ice water as that makes them worse for me) and eventually will have my DH rub my temples to help release some of the tension. Hope one of these works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-headaches#post-171667 Tue, 29 May 2012 07:59:28 +0000 mamimami 171667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had headaches but tylenol always worked OK, even when I thought I was going to die (seriously, I don't get a lot of headaches so I was certain it was an aneurism or something). A friend was actually prescribed a narcotic for her headaches in pregnancy. So, you should ask your doctor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-headaches#post-171527 Mon, 28 May 2012 23:20:23 +0000 mrskc 171527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I've had some horrible headaches while pregnant. I had one really bad one for a week straight. I've found a little caffeine helps a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-headaches#post-171337 Mon, 28 May 2012 20:15:12 +0000 chrispygal 171337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The entire first trimester I had horrible headaches, and they went into the second trimester a bit too. My doctor suggested Magnesium as a supplement to try and help and that headaches could be very common with pregnancy. Luckily I outgrew them. Sorry you're going through this - it's not fun at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-headaches#post-171331 Mon, 28 May 2012 20:08:19 +0000 matador84 171331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when i first found out i was PG, i had the worst headaches i ever had in my life! nothing helped either. someone gave me some origins peppermint on the spot relief and it did help but not eliminate. i would rub it on my temples and it did alleviate some of the pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-headaches#post-171325 Mon, 28 May 2012 20:01:56 +0000 dagret 171325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the rec for fioricet if Tylenol isn't cutting it. In the meantime, try lying down with a bag of ice under your neck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-headaches#post-171316 Mon, 28 May 2012 19:52:23 +0000 MamaMoose 171316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Ive sat around the house all day drinking water. I feel like such a lazy bum because hubs has been doing so much around the house while I do nothing but I can't get the pain to go away! : ( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-headaches#post-171308 Mon, 28 May 2012 19:48:38 +0000 chopsuey 171308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You poor thing! I've had a couple of headaches .. nothing too bad though. Are you staying hydrated? Resting enough? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-headaches#post-171307 Mon, 28 May 2012 19:47:45 +0000 heffalump 171307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got migraines, but I have had them my whole life. They just came more during pregnancy. You can ask your doctor for fioricet. I got massages which helped a lot. Also peppermint oil. Good luck and hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-headaches#post-171303 Mon, 28 May 2012 19:45:46 +0000 MamaMoose 171303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you / did you deal with terrible headaches during pregnancy? How did you cope? I've had a terrible headache ALL day. Tylenol does nothing. A cold compress only helps mildly. It's so bad I'm getting nausea from the pain. </p>
