headache??

[Kimbo]

ive had such a bad headache this last couple of days that just wont go whatever i do!

ive been using that 4head stuff that u put across ur forehead and it relieves it for a few minutes but then its back banging away again!
i know its safe to take paracetamols but i really dont wanna take any.

is there anything else i can do?? and has anyone else had really bad headaches early in pregnancy?
i cant keep reapplying that 4head stuff either because u can only use it so much a day xx

Hi hun, Ive suffered from headaches alot so far and the only thing that ive found to work is plenty of water, rest and paracetamol when they are really bad but I gotta admit even the paracetamol hasnt worked quite a few times.

They are caused by the rise in hormones so hopefully they will ease for you soon hun

I keep getting them too and have just been trying to drink gallons of water and getting lots of sleep which helps.

The water doesn't help the endless toilet trips though

I keep harping on about this in different threads but I can't recommend vitamin B6 highly enough - no headaches since I started taking it.

I had my first migraine when i was about 8 weeks and the only thing that worked for me was sleeping it off!!!!

Hugs for Kimbo...

I've had a headache for 4 days now. I've been taking paracetamol and lying in a darkend room but it's really not helping much. I brought one of those 4head things and as you said Kimbo, it works for about 5 mins then its back with a vengence. I'm drinking around 2ltrs of water a day, but its not doing anything. Also, the headache seems to be making me feel more sick to the point that I have actually thrown up a few times. I never had this the first time round.

I have medicine to help with migrines as I used to get them quite badly before I was pregnant, and the meds were great....migrine gone in 10mins... but I can't take them I just keep looking longingly at the packet

I can't suggest anything to help other than a dark room and a cold compress across your forehead and eyes. But if there are any mircle cures can someone PM me too..

in early pregnancy you can get blocked sinuses which can casue headaches.
Try sitting in the bathroom with the hot tap on so that it makes lots of steam. this may ease it.

i had a migraine last week and all i could do was stay in bed and sleep it off... headaches are supposed to ease when your hormones level off..
