  • Tylenol is about the only thing I get them all the time also try cold rags on your head or warm which ever helps
  • Thank you!!
  • I had really bad headaches for the first month. Unfortunately its one of the things you have to deal with! Tylenol helps. Just try to relax and know its all worth it in the end!
  • I get severe migraines, you can try rubbing vicks vapour rub on your temples. It does help. I have also been told by dr that i can take tylenol 3. Not going to take them unless pain becomes very unbearable. Hope i helped
  • I suffer from migraines. I'm 25 years old and have had them since I was 8. I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and cannot take my daily meds as well. I use an icepack on my head or the back of my neck.
  • I'm 29 this is my 4th child.. I have always had really bad migraines but now that I'm pregnant my headaches have gotten worse and not until I reached my 2nd trimester... my headaches got so bad it felt like my head was going to explode... then my blood pressure got really high and my vision started going blurry.. now I have pre-clampsia.. the worst thing ever!
  • @blessed- that's terrible! I hope it all gets better for you!
  • Thank u I hope it does too.. my doctor is talking ab inducing me at 30 weeks which is 3weeks from now..
  • My son was born at 30 weeks. He was in the NICU for about 8 weeks. But he will be 5 on the 28th an has caught
  • Thanks for the tips.. hope everyone is feeling good!!
  • I've always been a health food junky. I learned the natural way to cure head aches before pregnancy was to go to health food store and buy a little thing of peppermint essential oil and put a drip and rub on your two index fingers and massage into your temples . It works miracles and even better now that I'm pregnant. It stays in my purse
  • I'm also having terrible headaches, only at 3 weeks. Is tylenol safe this early?
  • Omg just started another discussion about this, didn't check first. I've had this migraine for over a month consistently! ! Called Dr to see if excedrin migraine is safe! Gonna try the vicks now! Gonna go buy some peppermint oil! Thanks guys!!! ;-)
