Stress Headaches

Essie

Hi I have been lurking for months but this is my first post. I am 16 weeks and due oct 30th. I have had a headache for 5 days now. I had my normal check up on Tuesday and the dr says everything is fine and gave me a prescription for fioricet to help my headaches. It works GREAT while I am taking it but the headache comes right back if I don't. It makes me nervous to keep taking the prescription as I am trying SOOO hard to do everything the safest I can. I was thinking about going to a chiropractor to help. Has anyone tried and been sucesful with this? This is my first and everything makes me nervous!!!

I had headaches in the begining of my pregnancy and went to the chiropractor and have had maybe one or 2 since then. I would say go! It was the best thing I ever did. It took a day or 2 to go away but like I said they have been gone since! Also.make sure you are drinking enough water!

We have the same due date!! As for the headaches I've had one since I woke up yesterday. The doctor wouldn't prescribe anything unsafe but maybe mention you feel uncomfortable taking the tablets at your next appointment. As for the chiropractor, I've never been but a friend swears by them! Maybe worth a try, just make sure they know you are pregnant!
