Headache :(

I have the worst headache and I don't want to take anything because I don't wanna do anything that may hurt the baby. I'm 6weeks 2days is it ok to take maybe Advil or something like that or is it not a good idea?

The first thing to do is drink lots of water because you can get a headache from dehydration. See if that helps. If not then take tylenol. It won't harm your baby at all.
