Anyone?

Question

I've always had really bad headaches and migraines before pregnancy. First trimester they went away. Once I started my second trimester they came back and feels worst. I've tried ice pack or sleeping kinda made it worst. My last option it Tylenol but that seems not to work either. I'm asking anyone 18 weeks have really bad headaches? What would you do to handle them?

Answer

I have it everyday...suffering from it as I write this reply. My doctor prescribed Fioricet...it is very good. Advice: when you take tylenol, take it with caffeine, it will work better.

Answer

I had them bad at 12, 14 and 15 weeks and now in 16 weeks so we will see. Once landed me in urgent care to get iv and that helped a lot. I would do the ice pack on my head, peppermint oil on my temples, sleeping wasn't an option hurt too much. Also tried eating more protein and obviously water. They would last me a couple days each and yes I took Tylenol every 4 hours per my ob. Good luck. I hope they get better!

Answer

I never had headaches before but around 15 weeks I started getting splitting mirgrain, have to sit in the dark headaches. My doctor said to try Tylenol and caffeine. Caffeine seemed to actually help. I don't normal drink coffee or soda, but soda with caffeine really seemed to help. I feel your pain mama! Hope it gets better soon!

Answer

I'm 17 weeks today and I've had 2 migraines in the last 2 weeks plus other sinus headaches. The one I had yesterday I threw up everything, took a hot shower, used a hot rice pack on my head for a few hours and then switched to an ice pack. I took Tylenol and drank some tea. Tried to lay still and eventually it went away. Had to ride it out for nearly 6 hours though. They really suck. :-/  I've tried soda with Tylenol before but the tea seemed to work more quickly. It's not as harsh on the tummy either.

Answer

I've always had headaches and migraines too, they got extremely consistent with pregnancy. I'm 17 weeks and the second trimester has been a little better but when they come they're bad. I don't bother taking Tylenol because it quit working for me years ago anyway. Honestly I'm stubborn and don't want to take any medicine I don't have to. However my doctor did tell me that my prior migraine med Fioricet is safe for pregnancy.

Answer

I had the exact same experience. They recommended a little caffeine for me as well. Worked like a charm.

Answer

I get migraines with aura, my first semester was horrible, they are better now, I used to drink a bit of Coke, the caffeine helped a little bit, other than that it helps me to avoid food  like oranges, lemons, tomatoes.. Hope that helps :/ feel better!

Answer

My dr prescribed me a high dose
Caffeine pill to take with my migraines.

I feel your pain. Just ask your dr for something. I take as needed and while they do make me a little drowsy...it helps
