Headache

I'm 12 weeks preggo today. I have had a headache I can't get rid of since I woke up. I have taken tylenol, and I have even put an ICY HOT patch on my neck where the pain seems to be generating from. When I stand up it seems to get worse. I don't get migraines, except when I had a spinal headache after an epidoral when I had my 3 yr old. It sorta feels like that, but not that bad yet. I can't tell if the nausea is from the headace or morning sickness. Should I be concerned that it won't go away?

When I went to my doctor, he thought maybe it was allergies also. I did take the Tylenol Allergy and Sinus because I had a constant cold along with headaches. It did help somewhat, but I basically had to let it run its course. I think it's a combination of the pregnancy and weather change for me. Glad to hear you are feeling better!! =)  The past 2 weeks I have been feeling like a new person! =)

Thanks for all the advise! My nurse suggested it was allergies. Low and behold, I think she may have been right. She had me take Tylenol Severe Allergy & Sinus and after the second dose, my headache was going away. Who would have thought. With no other signs and symptoms, I don't think m/c was the problem.

same thing happened to me right after my m/c and has been happening on and off since then...nothing gets rid of them.  They are refered to as hormonal headaches.  It stinks I know.

I had bad Migraines through my entire second trimester. My OB/GYN prescribed me something. I think it was Tylenol 3. I know it made me a bit groggy, but it was harmless to the baby. Check with your doc. he/she can give you something to help.

I had the same thing happen to me right around the same time. My headaches would actually last 2 days with no relief. No medicine worked. I just took it easy and tried not to do too much and made sure I was getting plenty of water! The things we have to go through in pregnancy! But it is all worth it in the end!! =)

I get really bad headaches when I'm pregnant (especially 1st trimester).  You may want to call your doctor to see if there is anything else you can take but I think Tylenol is it.  I feel for you!!
