Could you maybe step away from your desk/cube and take a quick little walk or get some fresh air? It'll let you take some deep breaths and re-collect yourself from the stressful situation.

Also, stretch your jaw throughout the day. And I read that if you have jaw tension it can help to place a wine cork between your upper and lower teeth and let your teeth rest on it. It let's your jaw rest for a few minutes. Although you may want to close your door first if you do it at work!!!

Mine have been pretty bad too. Sometimes it helps to switch to gatorade instead of water or to have another snack. Chocolate might help too...it has just a bit of caffeine. I don't have any great answers though since I still have a headache right now! (I'm 7w5d).

Extra strength tylenol, or you can ask your doctor for fioricet. Also, I signed up for a massage membership when I was pregnant which was great, but I'd ask if it's ok during the first trimester. I waited until the 2nd. And peppermint oil. You rub it on your temples or where the pain is. Good luck, hope you feel better!

tyelenol never worked for me before i was pregnant either. that's another reason i didn't take it for my first 2 migraines. but on the third horrible one, i decided to give it a try and it worked. maybe cuz i hadn't taken anything in so long at that point? i used to take like 3 - 4 advil at a time in the past!

I had read this read earlier, then woke up this morning with a horrible headache. I'm not pregnant, but trying to cut back on medicines in general for when I am, so I tried the ice pack on the back of my head-- its wonderful. I did end up taking Advil Migraine, but the ice pack helped some immediately.

I'm not how you feel about caffeine during pregnancy but something my doctor suggested to me during a bad headache was to go buy a pop to get some caffeine in you. You don't necessarily have to drink the whole thing or drink a loaded one like mountain dew, just something to give you a little help with the headache.

My SIL had terrible headaches during her first trimester and she used to sip on a coke when she would feel one coming on and it was usually enough to curb the headache. I hope you feel better dear and that the headaches stop soon!

I feel your pain. I have a major headache today along with nausea. I just finally took some Tylenol it never used to do anything for me either but has helped some in pregnancy. I broke down and got a caffeinated diet coke. I have been drinking them occasionally.

My OB mentioned headaches can be a problem from 12 to 20 weeks. I guess it's starting early for us. My nausea started a bit early at around five weeks. Ugh.
