Headachesss!

[Nocturnally]

I know headaches are normal and what not but what has everyone done to relieve them? Tylenol seems to do NOTHING for me. I've had a headache since 1 pm and still have it and its now 4 am. I can't take this, around 9 pm I took a Tylenol and it took the edge off (for the first time) but the ache was still there. I dosed off for a few minutes and woke up with it back just as worse. Sleep use to get rid of my headaches but its like they make it worse since I'm pregnant. Help ):

No ibuprofen or naproxen is AWFUL!!! I've had chronic migraines since I was 6 so I was in your same boat when I was preggo. Watch trigger foods: caffiene, MSG/free glutamate (like carageenan and others), nitrates/nitrites (processed meats), sulfites/sulfates, chocolate, tomato sauce, cheese, red wine (yes some people have red wine during pregnancy), sausages, and the like. Be sure you are SUPER hydrated, and well-rested. All of that will help. Try a cool washcloth or an ice pack to help you sleep. If the pain continues, ask your doctor about something stronger. I take a combo of Pfenergan and Lortab (which is tylenol-based and safe during pregnancy but not nursing). It works on my migraines fabulously and did while I was pregnant. it will knock you out though :)

Also be sure you are eating enough, low blood sugar can cause headaches too!
