ok i posted a question regarding this a few months ago but i needed a little more info.what is wit these headaches???oh my god..i had a migraine issue prior to getting pregnant but man o man have they worsened.i know i can take tylenol but is it ok to take it every day sometimes numerous times threw out the day?i mean im worried enough bout taking it once but i am having these terrible migraines day after day.i asked my doctor bout giving me something else but they are very addimate about not using any drug unless absolutely necessary..well when does it become absolutely necessary half the time i cant function normally..and in the mean time im stressing everyone else out around me cause noone can possibly understand the pain

well the past two days crossing my fingers have been headache free..or atleast migraine free...i asked the doc today and they are still saying no to anything further very aggravating especially now knowing that there r things i can take.i really dont even wanna take the tylenol though and know if i had any other meds id probably hold out as long as i could b4 taking them anyways but i am needing to take the tylenol alot these days and i really just wanted to make sure that i cant take it too much.i mean i know every 4-6 hours but every day??honestly i only take 2 a day usually but i still get worried that day after day something could happen...

My doctor told me that if mine get really bad during my pregnancy, he would prescribe me Tylenol with codeine.  He said it will knock me out but if I'm home sick with a migraine, it may be a better feeling than the migraine and I can just sleep!  I go with the Tylenol and 1/2 a Coke.  I also have one of those ice packs that goes over the eyes, and I sleep in  my closet because it is completely dark!  I have only had one since I found out I am pregnant.  Good luck!  They suck!

Yes, it is alright to take thruout the day, just keep it at every 6 hrs. My doctor has actually given me medication for it. It's called  Lopressor and is only 25mg which is lower than the normal lowest doseage.

it hasn't stopped my headaches but has helped them out. Also try drinking a normal soda w/caffeine 1-2x a day. You can safely have up to 300mg of caffeine a day.

Sorry about your migraines maybe it has something to do with your diet, or are you stress, working? Try a cool cloth on your head and relax. How many weeks are you? Maybe you could talk to your doctor again or get another opinion.

Okay info from my pregnancy book. Headaches can be caused by tension and anxiety or nasal congestion. If you find that you are suffering repeated headaches it can be the first sign that you are developing high blood pressure.
