I'm 31 weeks & I've had headaches here and there throughout pregnancy.. but if I ever felt one coming on I'd make sure to drink lots of water (dehydration can cause headaches) & I've also used a warm rag on my head.. laying in the dark, on my left side, etc. probably helped too..

also try to think about what you've eaten today.. I did notice I'd get them more often if I'd eaten chips that day, too many pickles, etc. obviously stuff with a little too much sodium for my body's preference I guess.. crazy how pregnancy changes everything!!!! lol please be mindful though, if they are TOO bad your blood pressure could be a problem. my BP has always been low (normal), so fortunately I think mine have been coming from what I eat.. which I've been trying to watch out for!

Not to scare u but I had to be tested for preeclampsia due to high blood pressure and they said some symptoms of preeclampsia are headaches so maybe you should ask him to test you if they haven't already

I am only 9 weeks and I have had a migraine for 3 days now. I had terrible migraines before the pregnancy and I was hoping they would get better with the hormone changes no such luck in have found a got shower and dark room do wonders though. Also have your man rub your back. That finally got me to sleep at 3 am this morning

Heat pack on your head while lying down helps alot as theres not alot you can take unfortunately.
