bummy87

has that got codeine in it, if it does its ok occassionally my dr sai4 bub can get addicted to it

mommytobe011

yeah i called my doctor and he said only regular tyneol, but i cant find any nowhere all i see is tyneol extra and tynelo pm, and this headache is just too much,!

veteranswife

Tylenol extra is the 500 mg and that's the only thing you will find. Tylenol is just the brand and not the actual medicine. You can try a ice pack

I have the same problem, all i get are headaches! Tylenol doesnt work either!! I get to the point where i see spots and my vision gets a bit impaired. i really have to remind myself that its a battle worth fighting. But still, wish they had somethin pregnant women can actually take. Or if there are remedies that really do help. I cant sit at work with an ice pack on my forehead, as much as i would love to! Lol

Tylenol NEVER works for me...but drinking water does! It seems almost instant! Lol. Maybe its just in my head...but it does work for me.

Tylenol does not work for me at all!!! I finally figured out that a certain foods were causing my headaches (mainly bacon). Once I stopped eating it, my headaches went away. Icepacks and cold wash cloths helped relieve some of the pressure.

@ newmom2b23: be careful, seeing spots with a headache could be a sign of preclampsia. I'd talk to ur Dr if you haven't already.

@ mommytobe011: I have the same problem. I usually take one tylenol 500mg and put an ice pack in the fridge to cool and put it on my head while I lay down or close my eyes for a while. That usually works for me. Good luck.

Have you cut out caffeine? If so you may need some. When people stop drinking caffeine and their body is used to it they get headaches.

mommytobe011

no i haven't done that,! but lately i haven't had really appat to eat nothing really but just snacking, that may have something to do with it,!?

salsabia

Could be. I woke up and went straight to work last night without eating. Ate one small pkg of instant oatmeal when I first arrived. I got a headache and almost passed out about an hour later. Guess that wasn't enough food.

mommytobe011

yeah me too, and i just been really nervous and worried, ! about little stuff, not eat like enough food will that hurt the baby,!?

I had times I couldn't eat at all if you would starving yourself daily it wouldn't be good but on the end the baby will take everything from you it doesn't get and if I remember the number right you don't need to take more than 300 calories more in starting month 4. Even less for the once with extra padding and a little more for the once they are under weight. So if you are unable to eat once a while your baby still will be fine.
