Pregnancy headaches

Rachel

Hi y’all! First time mom here currently 5 weeks + 1 day preggers. I’m struggling BAD with debilitating pregnancy headaches. Any tips on getting rid of these without taking medications ? I already drink tons of water not sure what else I can do to help

Tylenol and be sure you’re drinking plenty of water. Drinking anything was and still is hard for me, but staying hydrated will definitely keep the headaches down a bit. Luckily mine only lasted a couple weeks this pregnancy! Hang in there momma.

I was at first too, but my doctor said it was fine. I was told I could take up to 500 mg every 4 hours or so if needed. I ended up usually just taking one extra strength Tylenol for a headache and it usually made it better.

Peppermint oil always worked for me! Dilute a few drops with a few drops of with olive oil or coconut oil in the palm of your hand and rub it on your temples and forehead. I also use my diffuser. I never thought Tylenol did much for me.
