Wow how interesting, I have been getting headaches lately too!! it started last week every now and then, but over the weekend I swear I got a headache on saturday morning that just never went away! I still have it now! I tried naps and taking tylenol. Must be fate that today my "info for the day" from my "What to Expect when you're expecting" phone APP said the following:
"The mucous membranes of your nose may also start to swell from all the pregnancy hormones circulating in your body, which are also increasing blood flow there. The result? Your nose probably already knows: pregnancy congestion, and possibly even nosebleeds. Unfortunately, the stuffiness may only get worse as your pregnancy progresses, but your practitioner will probably not prescribe any medications or antihistamine nasal sprays to help clear things up (but do ask if he or she recommends something else instead). You can safely try saline sprays or nasal strips, especially if the congestion takes a turn for the truly uncomfortable. A humidifier in your room and a little petroleum jelly dabbed under your nose may also help overcome the dryness associated with any congestion."
Maybe that will help someone with the headaches. I also looked it up in one of my books and it said to try hot or cold compresses/cloths on your forehead, eyes, or back of neck. I tried that and it felt pretty nice and made it better temporarily at least. Today I picked up some saline spray and I'm going to use that and a humidifier by my bed lol. I need to do something about these headaches!!!
lol everything else is great, how are you ladies? We're all sort of writing here less often, for me it's just because there isn't a whole lot to report. I have my next doc appointment on Wednesday. I'm having some kind of test (another?!) lol and I SHOULD be hearing the heartbeat for the first time FINALLY!!
then after i see the doctor I plan to finally announce to all my "extended" friends on Facebook!
