Anyone else have really bad headaches? My Dr said take Tylenol and drink 1 or 2 cups of caffeine but that hasn't helped! I've had a headache for about 6 Days straight now.and.I'm struggling with sleeping now too
 
Oh no, that sounds awful! Six days is too long for a headache. I would try talking to the doctor again. I hope you get some relief soon!
 
I never had headaches pre pregnancy and now i get them so bad that i actually went to bed at 830 yesterday. Sometimes i dont know if it is nausea or headaches or both! I haven't tried taking medicine but i probably should. I never drank caffeine pre pregnancy either so its not that. Ugh this sucks!
 
Try sucking on a hard candy or small, very frequent meals. It sounds more like your blood sugar is dropping. This has happened to me with both of my kids. Good luck!!
 
Did you suddenly stop drinking caffeine? Because I thought it was very bad for fetal development. Best thing try laying down with a cool towel over your eyes and forehead. Simple but it does work.I refuse to take anything for fear it will affect the baby. And I quit caffeine cold turkey and have not had headaches from it.
 
i never really drank too much caffeine before I got pregnant so I don't think that I am having any caffeine with drawl...I am constantly eating because I am always hungry haha so I am already doing the small meal thing...the only thing that I found helps so far is taking a hot shower...but unfortunately that doesn't help me at work all day long!
 
I have had this problem too. So far Tylenol has worked (when I take it, I really am trying not to take it unless absolutely necessary!), and lately I have been falling asleep with an ice pack wrapped in a dish towel wrapped around my head. That seems so help some! Good luck, it's not fun! I have had bad morning (all day) sickness too and I can't decide which I would rather have! Lol!!

I went to the Chiropractor - she helps me SO MUCH!!! Haven't had a headache since.
 
I've been having this problem too. Scares me when I have a headache for more then a day because those usually lead to migraines. Knock on wood, I haven't had a migraine yet, but just the thought scares the crap out of me. I've been taking Tylenol and drinking a cup of coffee and it helps sometimes and other times not so much, like today. I had OH pick me up a cup of coffee on his way home from work so I'm hoping that does the trick. As far as caffeine consumption in pregnancy, it's fine in moderation. My doc gave me a limit of 150 mg's a day.

I hope your headache subsides. I guess if it makes you feel any better (I know it helps me put up with the headaches a little better) just remember it's a side effect of pregnancy and any side effects/symptoms just means everything is ok. Hang in there. (((HUGS)))
