Im in my 21st week of pregnancy with twins. Ive had 3other children. NEVER have I had headaches this BAD!!!! They are light sensitive and can last up to 3days. I get them at least 2-3times a week and they make me throw up. My Oh so helpful dr. told me drink caffiene...didnt work. Someone said drink 2gallons of water a day...didnt work. Lately the last two weeks ive got this horrible dizzyness and throwing up. Weird. Any suggestions?

Someone on this website told me during my first pregnancy to drink a big bottle of Gatorade. The electrolytes are supposed to help, I guess. Tried it and it seemed to work!

Kelly - you may want to talk to your doctor about getting a migraine pill. I had a migraine for 3 days straight, it made my blood pressure rise and i started to swell because it was my bodies way of trying to fight it. My doctor finally put me on Fiorinal (sp?) and i've only had to take it 2 times since she gave me the initial prescription. My doctor told me that the risks of taking the medication out weight the risks of not taking any. Hope this helps!

I get headaches/ migraines every night like clockwork. Nothing ever works. I'm not sure what else to do, hopefully they will end soon. I'm 22 weeks.

Same here lizzie78 I suffer from Crazy migraines I ended up in the er twice this preg and Im only 15 weeks. Mine will last for days and it sucks tylenol doent help at all Nore the pills the doc gave me. Sometimes I lay in a dark room with the fan on and an ice pack on my neck, or my face mask it helps sometimes. Drink plenty of water too I hope you feel better!

Does anyone know of any natural remedy for pregnancy headaches? I have never had a headache that I can't sleep off. I don't want to take tylenol, etc. I am 6 weeks pregnant.

I've been having these chronic migraine headaches, i don't want to take too much panadol or medicines to get rid of it because I have heard it can harm the baby. Is there any other ways I can ease the pain without resorting to medicine?

Tension Headaches - For anyone suffering from headaches that start at the back of your neck and extend to the top of your head & behind your eye(s) - I was suffering for 2 months - I've been to a neurologist, for a massage & everything. My doctor said it was a tension headache & I just had to suffer through it. I took it upon myself to go to a physiotherapist & she has already rid me of headaches in 3 treatments. Apparently there are muscles at the base of your skull that can trigger headaches. When we're pregnant & our ligaments start to loosen up, muscles can over compensate. She has released the pressure & my headaches are gone. So don't suffer - see a qualified physiotherapist - they might be able to help you, too.

I am 13 wks pregnant and have been suffering from severe headaches. I had to go to the ER last week and they put me on vicodin for the pain but I really don't want to spend the next 6 mo on pain meds... Anyone have any advice or tricks of the trade to pass on... Things to mention to the Dr maybe? Anything couldn't hurt at this point.... Much needed advice!

Hello Ladies- This is my first pregnancy and Im 16 weeks three days along. I was wondering if anyone else out there was suffering from constant headaches? Ive seemed to have a mild headache for two weeks now- the pain is a dull throbbing but it just wont quit which is starting to make me nuts. All I want to do is sleep which isnt really working out since I have a life to live. Ive tried Tylenol, and drinking more water and it just doesnt cut it. I also went to the doctor yesterday and b.p is great- so Im just FRUSTERATED!! Any advice? Anyone else going through this? It's making daily activities horrible and my motivation has gone down the tubes!

I have suffered from migraines since I was 16. The seem to go away when I get preggo. But, this pregnancy they are still coming atleast once or twice a week. I was prescribed Tylenol 3 and fioricet. It seems to be working so far. The doctors would rather me take those then have to take Zomig...which is what I take when I am not pregnant.

OMG!! These headaches are absolutely horrible! Its been days for me and if I have a long day I get one automatically! UGH! Help! I have already taken Tylenol 4 times since I have been pregnant and they have been so bad that I had to! I haven't wanted to do anything wrong I haven't even had a cup of tea or coffee! Taking the Tylenol is torture for me but a last resort! I don't like to take antything when I'm not pregnant... What should I do??

I have never suffered from migraines until this pregnancy. I got my first headache around 20 wks, my arms where numb, my vision distorted and physically sick, i even developed a rash on my legs and arms! My body being so sensitive had a very adverse reaction to the migraine. I began to notice a pattern, so every 6 wks i would get another, luckily the symptoms became less each time, just a headache, my midwife told me it was ok to take 2 paracetamol when it came on. Yesterday i was 32 wks, luckily today was my day off work, but i spent most of that day in bed with a migraine, my vision was distorted to begin with, but with lots of bedrest it wore off. Other than that, my BP, Iron levels etc...have all been great, i havent gained to much weight, an overall good pregnancy, minus the migraines! I hope todays one was the last of them.
