headache

[Phoebe28]

Ive had a really bad headache for 4 days now, what else can i take apart from paracetamol? And should i be concerned? Its really intense and is worse when im stood up and eases abit if i sit down. Im only 16 weeks

For my migraines the best thing is Tylenol with a little caffeine and an icepack.  Than a nap in a dark quiet room.  I was told headaches are at their worse around 16 weeks hopefully they start to get better for you soon.  Mine started getting better around 20 weeks

They feel like migranes felt nausous aswel but a different kind to  what i had in first trimester. I feel pressure  in my head when i stand up its weird. Seeing my midwife on friday so least i can mention it

I get migraines and this baby hates Tylenol, so I take a Benadryl and a nap

Thanks. I try to drink plenty water but maybe i need more

Chug water! The main reason headaches occur is dehydration, so drink two water bottles one right after the other and it should help. Also try and avoid salt, it exacerbates head aches.
