headache

I've been having these crazy headaches,  does anyone know what causes them thru pregnancy? Or what to take to get  rid of them?  I take Tylenol extra strength and they still won't go away!

I was having terrible headaches everyday until I visited a chiropractor/homeopathic doctor. He said my neck was out and adjusted it for me. He also said that Prenatal vitamins aren't enough during pregnancy because the baby is sucking all of your nutrients from you leaving you deprived.  I started taking a good quality multi vitamin 3 times a day with each meal and the headaches stopped immediately.

I suffered from migraines prior to pregnancy. When I started getting them frequently during pregnancy my Dr prescribed fiorcet. It works for the most part but makes me tired. I also go see a chiropractor twice a week and that helps A LOT! Drinking a lot of water and a cold rag or ice pack in a dark cold room works too when I have a bad one. Good luck ladies!

My Dr gave me fiorcet. Helps some but not all the time. I get them bad too. *****! Massage does help but I doubt any of us have a therapist that'll come over everyday!

I think we all got headaches in the beginning. If you are in the third trimester discuss with the Dr because that may be a sign of high blood pressure.

The extra hormones. My Dr said that they are normal during the teens weeks. It ***** cuz I've been getting them and I'm only 13 weeks so I'll still get them for awhile

I'm very light and sound sensitivity and those give me a major head ache too.  I go see my doctor on the 5th of next month,  but I'm 15+2 right now.... I just can't stand it anymore because it's always starts on right temple to middle of forehead should I be concerned?  It's a everyday occurrence

Well at about 14 weeks i started having bad headaches that wouldnt go away with tylenol extra strength. So the prescribed me something.  That worked sometimes and sometimes it didnt. Now im 28 weeks and theyve come bk full force.  And again the tylenol doesnt work half the time. So i try hot rag and massage and it helps a little. Hope yu feel better
