headaches??

[emeeorevan]

Lately I've had horrible headaches and nothing helps! It always at night or late evening, makes it Difficult to get to sleep. Anyone else have the same problem or anything similar?
I've tried drinking more water, caffeine, hot tea. Anyone else have any ideas or remedies for headaches? Doc has said I can take Tylenol but I don't want to unless it was a last resort. (doc also said try caffeine as that is the main ingredient in most headache medicine)

When I have really bad headaches, I take the Tylenol. There is no reason to suffer because it just causes stress on the baby. Nothing else works once you have one too long.

I just take the ordinary paracetamol and plenty water, sometimes it works and others it doesn't shift it. Xx

My midwife advised take regular paracetamol even when I don't have a headache as that could prevent the headaches coming on. She also said aim for drinking 3 litres of fluids a day xx

Yeah, my obgyn said I could take Tylenol and Tylenol pm but he stresses waiting till second trimester and trying anything natural first. I guess of than the caffeine and fluids there is nothing else natural to help headaches. I ended up taking a half dose of Tylenol pm. My headache did go away but I still couldn't sleep due to lo "balling up" on my right side!

My midwife also recommend some lavender oil rubbed onto your temples... maybe this will help? Xxx
