What can i do about these headaches

[siouxie]

Ive been having headaches on and off since becoming pregnant, there not so bad that im worried, but they make me not want to do anything and feel rubbish. I left work earlie on friday as they make me feel so crap and have absolutly no energy. I work in an after school club so lots of noisy kids which isnt going to help. I havent got any painkillers i can take atm cos i only have ibruprofen which i have read not to take. Please can i have some advice as its making me feel so crap its a struggle even to get in the bath today

Can you not take paracetamol for some reason? That's safe in pregnancy xx

I had headaches too, they are normally due to progesterone levels during pregnancy and should settle down in Tri2, but I completely sympathise

I used 4head and when it was really bad paracetamol. Also make sure you have enough fluid during the day, I found my headaches were a lot worse if I'd not drunk enough the day before.

Head and shoulder massages are good if you have someone that could treat you to one or just rubbing the along base of your skull with your thumbs, but stay away from your spine, that can help ease tension.

I can take paracetamol im going to buy some today when ive been out and its been alright i compleatly for get to buy some then when i have it i dont want to go out. I just didnt know if it was safe to take them everyday if i needed to. 2mro i enter my second trimester if my dates are correct so i hope they do go and i have a bit more energy.
