This may sound silly but sit on the counter with ur hands and ur feet in hot water and put an ice pack on the back of ur neck. Just do it lol nothing worked for me but this :) hope it helps!

I got a severe migraine today. Helped to sleep and have someone rub my neck and shoulders. Been a stressful week for me. Thankfully it went away in a few hours but all your Dr for migraine medicine. There is some you can take while pregnant. I will be 10 weeks tomorrow

Well I'm a ftm so I have nothing to compare it too besides what I've been dealing with my entire life. Mine feel like a headband, it jus wraps around my head but the throbbing ugh its horrible like my brain is bouncing against my skull=( I take 2extra strength Tylenol with a can of Pepsi, n go to sleep. I don't know if u would consider this lucky but my body does me the favor by letting me work but as soon as I have a day off that's when it starts so I have the opportunity sleep n recover for the entire day. Mine usually last 2-3 days with day one being the worst. Also pay attention to what ur eating,  a lot of msg, &sodium,  r triggers for headaches!

No dear I don't think u have a tumor.  Headaches r normal especially when ur approaching ur second trimester.  I'm going through the same thing but theres not much we can do besides what ur already doing.  Tylenol,  caffeine,  sleep, possibly a cold press on ur forehead,  some would say its a phase n will go away but every woman is different.  And if u already suffer from migrains like I do then I think it we're a lil more susceptible to the headaches.
