Very bad headaches

I just found out I'm about 4 weeks. Waiting till 6 weeks in October for an ultrasound but I have the worst headaches ever that don't let up and last 24 hours haven't stopped hurting yet. Anyone else have this problem do early? When did it let up?

I had headaches so bad all I could do was cry. I Got Some Lavender And Eucalyptus Oil From the Vitamin Cottage (Or Whatever Vitamin Stores in your area) mix the oil and rub it on your temples. It really helped me & it's natural.

I get really bad migraines and they will literally put me in bed for 2 days unable to do anything. I had them so bad my doctor gave me meds for them. It was the only thing that helped. Sometimes a cup of really hot coffee would help ease some pain but never made it go away.

You can also try taking a nice hot shower or ask your doctor if he can get you some headache medicine I had to do that around 20 weeks because Tylenol wasn't helping

I had a lot of headaches. Mine were due to cutting caffeine completely out of my diet, so I had to allow myself more tea and coffee drinks every few days. I used aroma therapy for my headaches and nausea. Another natural remedy I used was to put my feet and hands in a bowl of really warm water. Then put a frozen bag of peas on the back of my neck. It wouldn't get rid of my headaches completely, but it definitely took the constant pressure and achyness away. You're also allowed to take tylenol while pregnant. I didn't take it because it never seemed to provide any relief.
