headaches!!!

[litlun]

Hi ya all, I am 16 weeks pregnant and Ive been getting lots of headaches for the last month that last for days. I go to bed with it and wake up with it. Ive been drinking lots of water but they still continue. Could it just be hormonal?

 

[Peril]

Yes! lol... I have had a blinding headache for the last 5 days, went to drs on Fri as they don't ease, paracetamol doesn't help, nor does fluids etc... Have been told that it is the hormones, and also the increased blood flow! There are a few in first tri also been suffering from about week 12...!

Hope they ease off soon... ✿*ﾟ‘ﾟ･✿ HUGS ✿*ﾟ‘ﾟ*✿

I'm glad to have read this. I have also started getting headaches from week 17. Also paracetamol or water not working. Grr. x

I have been getting them since about week 13 and they are getting increasingly worse... Midwife assured me that they are hormonal. I have found that 4Head works for a little while and is perfectly safe to use in pregnancy!

Its not fun is it??? Grrrr but i smile to myself and say its worth it!

I have been using the 4head gel strips, they are also safe... they are just levinmenthol, which cools your forehead.... they help ease it enough before i go to sleep to get me off to land of nod. (Box of 8 strips - each of which can be used more than once costs £4.99). Not bothering with paracetamol anymore as it doesn't do anything for it, and i worry about taking it too often.

Should have also mentioned you can use the strips on back of neck etc, or wherever you think it will help you most! Also find that steam helps a little... not sure why lol !!!

Arr, so even though it dont do anything and ill take your word for it, its safe is it to be taking paracetamol? Last time is asked i was still in my 1st trimester, but its gone kinda quick if you minus all the ill feeling time, i thought i still wasnt allowed. I take it i can at 16 weeks then?

I'm still getting them and have been having them since I first found out i was pregnant. Paracetomol (although doesn't do anything) 4head rub and migraine head strips are what I use but doesn't really take them off much x

[Peril]

Dr, Midwife and pharmacist have said paracetamol is fine at any stage ... xx

I've been getting really bad headaches since about week 11 and I've been relying on
4Head. I have also found that if I have a nap when it first starts it goes away, that only works if I'm at home doing nothing and not at work though!
Really hope everyone feels better soon.

I have been getting them all the time! I have had a pretty painful one since last night and its still there too. Im too scared to take even paracetomel just in case so its even worse!
