Headaches!

[cadosanjos]

Are any of you experiencing painful headaches? If so, what are you doing yo get rid of them? I rarely got headaches before being pregnant. I got an extremely painful one last night and woke up multiple times to use the bathroom and had a very tough time going back to sleep because of the pain. I thought that I would've been able to sleep off the pain and was surprised when I woke up and still had this headache! I still have it now but its not as severe as it was last night. I am only about 4 weeks pregnant and I am so worried that these headaches are here to stay. Any suggestions?

If you aren't drinking at least a gallon of water a day, that could be your issue. You need a gallon a day while pregnant to keep hydrated. Dehydration causes headaches and can cause premature dilivery

Thank you!! I didn't realize that I could take tylenol. Hopefully that will work since i rarely ever got headaches before being pregnant! I woke up in tears a couple of times too! i am just glad I am not the only one. Thank you all for your feedback!

I wasn't taking anything for my headaches at first because I didn't know what meds could harm the baby. During my first appointment my doctor told me that I could take tylenol for my headaches. Nothing else. I hope this helps.

I'm 17 weeks an experience horrible headaches to the point I can't stop throwing up an can't keep food down. I use a cold rag around the back of my neck an one on my forehead . Tylenol is baby safe an plenty of water.

I'm 13 weeks and for a few weeks I had them bad! Make sure to keep hydrated and if they continue see your doctor to be safe! It's a nightmare :(
