Headaches

[Curls85]

I'm 15 weeks tomorrow but headaches are becoming more and more frequent in fact I've had one everyday for the last 2 weeks. When I saw the midwife an told her she didn't really say much, I stopped taking the folic acid multi tablets incase that was causing it but they still don't seem to be going...any ideas on what could help an why I'm getting them so frequent?

Not sure where you are, but in the UK, we have something called 4head headache stick which is considered safe to use   as you just rub the stick along your forehead, so you're not taking anything. It may help, even if it doesn't cure the headache completely. Hope your headaches go away soon. X

Oh yea I've heard of them before but never used them. I've not been taking anything as just been trying to ride them out...thank you :) x

I suffer from migraines and when I'm pregnant they get more frequent (almost daily) and I can't take the 'good stuff' to knock them out.
I have to have an extra kick of caffeine  (dr orders) when I have one, also it sounds stupid but using a relaxing body wash and taking a longer or 2nd shower helps.  And a mild amount of walking (too much and it makes it worse for me).

Try different combinations of things and you will hopefully find a combo that makes them easier to endure. Took me a few tries my first pregnancy to find the right combo.

Ive struggled with daily headaches for most of my life. Im 16 weeks now and try not to take Tylenol every single day. I bought a flexible, clay pack (hot or cold) from CVS. I freeze it and put it at the base of my head when Im reasting to relieve some of the headache pain. Its been a lifesaver!

I didn't even think of a clay pack...I might go an get one if they do the job :) thank you x

I'm 40 weeks tomorrow. Starting in the second trimester, daily headaches occasionally becoming migraines. You can take up to 4,000 MG of tylenol a day. They may put you on something more (for me, fioricet from a neurologist). You really just have to tough it out, and it really *****. I'm sorry this is happening to you too, but it does come to an end.

Thank you for your reply...it's so annoying isn't it, I know in the beginning they say it's hormones etc so was hoping they wouldn't end up being constant! At the moment I've just been riding it out...good luck with your bundle of joy when it arrives :)

Also, could be dehydration, drink plenty if you're able, good luck x

I've been trying to drink 2litres of water a day but someone did say to me too much water is also not good as it flushes all sugars an everything out of your body which I may need...thank you for your reply :) x

Headaches from week 12/13 are totally normal. It s the blood presure etc etc :) changes in your body
Ask your Dr what you should take as a lot of medicine is not recommended

Thank you :)
I thought they seemed too much but if they are normal hopefully in time they will just disappear :)
