headaches

I'm only 6 weeks and 4 days and the headaches have been horrible. So I've done some research online stated that acetaminophen without caffeine and aspirin are good for pregnant women to take. I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday but I don't think I can last any longer what do you ladies think?

It might be worth it to try taking magnesium and vitamin B100.  Those two are very good together for knocking down migraines, which often have a hormone trigger.  I find them effective for hormone-based headaches when doing IVF.  Start with only a half pill of magnesium, it can give you gas-type cramps.

Typically doctors only suggest taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) when pregnant. Stay away from aspirin or other NSAIDS (aleve, Excedrin, etc.) unless your doc specifically says its ok. A little caffeine can help too so a 12oz can of soda or a candy bar may help with the pain.
