Could be blood pressure, I'd call your doctor. I had headaches and the told me to go to labor and delivery to get monitored.

I lay very still in a dark quiet room with a ice pack on my head and have my boyfriend rub my stomach or legs feet until I fall asleep I've found rest and time are the only thing that helps

Sorry, I think some of my comment cut off, when I was told to go to labor and delivery, I was diagnosed with early signs of hypertension. Just be careful. You might want to give your doctor a call.

And I'd call your doctor depending on how far you are and your medical history  they may want to check your blood pressure

No aspirin, no ibuprofen. Try to take the cheap version of Tylenol from the dollar store. Perfectly safe.

Probably just hormones. Drink lots of water and take some Tylenol. Maybe take naps.

Ask your doctor what pain killers you CAN take.. i know one is Tylenol.. i think is just two pills a day you can take... i know ibuprofen is not good... && others.. but i agree ice packs.. dark room.. massages && sleep do wonders!!
