terrible headache during first trimester

Has anyone else experienced headaches during 1st trimester? I've had a terrible headache for 8 days straight. I've tried everything that I'm able to try and have even seen a neurologist who won't do an mri b/c of being so early in pregnancy. Nothing has helped at all. Any suggestions?

  • dang. sux. my gf had headaches. maybe not 8 days straight. we usually let her sleep them off
  • I had them too. There was a post about weeks ago. Seems a lot of people have it too. I wore a hat down to my eyebrows and sunglasses when I was outside. Tylenol never helped. :( That probably didn't help though. Good Luck.
  • My Headaches are terrible..I gave in after 4 days of pain and went to the Er and got a shot in my butt..lol..I'm at the Er as we speak because I'm in sooo much pain..my doctor got upset with me for telling her I used so much tylenol..but I'm not sure of what else to do..ugh..
  • I have really bad headaches myself and they're really not fun :( I always try to rest and relax and sometimes it makes it go completely away I dunno if it'll help you but that's about all we can do besides tylenol
  • I was going through the same thing during my first trimester ..I asked my Dr about them bc I'd call in to work bc of them!! Anyway, she told me that it was probably bc I was dehydrated ... she advised to drink lots of liquids especially water so I did and they were gone! Yay! Hopefully this helps u out. :)
  • Maybe your body is adjusting to the changes in pregnancy hormones. With all 4 pregnancies i would have migraines all 1st trimester and 3rd trimester. Ive been with a migraine since sunday but its gone now. Tylenol wont help, i even went to a nuerologist n i have to wait till the babys born. So ur best bet for relief is a massage or going to the er.
  • Have u tried pressure points in your hand??? Its between your thumb &index. I can tell u from experiance, it works!!! For headaches, not migraines though. I can honestly say when my hubby press the pressure point for 2 min or so it goes away quick. Try it.
  • I still get them bad. Doc told me to drunk lots n lots of water. I hate it cuz I pee all the time then. But it helps a little and sleep is my best best friend
  • I experienced a horrible headache today, it usually gets better after I eat, but it's still goin strong today. I have heard its very common during pregnancy.
  • I just recently found out I'm 5wks. preggo and I've also noticed an increase in headaches which seems to be daily. I've related mine to a combination of allergies/sinuses and hormonal changes going on with my body. Because, I wanted to ensure the safety of my baby I spoke with my OB and was recommended Comtrex and it has worked wonders!
