Headache.. no matter what!

I've tried sleep, food, warm bath, cool rag, massaging between my thumb and pointer finger, but nothing works. I've had this headache since last night. It just keeps getting worse! And I'm scared of taking pills because of my mom. I'm 24+4. Help?! :(

Lay with a heating pad under your head on the back of it and an ice pack over your forehead and eyes. Do this in a dark quiet room if possible.

Drinking more water can make it worse. I know it did for me. At about 10 weeks I worked my way up to 72oz during the day and another 12-24oz at night. I would suffer from head aches that would not go away. Dr told me to drink more water drink more water. Well when I did it just got worse! Then I remembered I had this same thing happen to me 5 years ago. So I reduced my water intake in half during the day. My head aches went away and now Im head ache free!  I'm 18 weeks and going to try and up my water again. But another thing I know helps is drink water right as soon as u get out of bed and eat some protein for breakfast. I drink a glass of milk with a breakfast essential. Works for me!

Try to stop any caffeine. Like none at all. Once I stopped drinking soda I rarely get headaches. Also keep cool the heat can also be the big reason why.

Take tylenol, drink water, lots of it, let your hair lose, and massage. The sides of you eye like between your eyebrow n eye you know, that should help relax you a bit then just sleep it off!(:

I know its safe, but I'm not allowed to take pills, my body won't allow me since my mom. I've drank so much water that I'm peeing every ten minutes.
