Answer 2

You are best off not taking anything since you are pregnant but if you are in such pain there are homeopathic remedies you can use. Personally I am no big fan of pills for headache even though i do tend to get them regularly. Try putting an ice pack on your nape and rub the painful areas on your head with a mix of menthol and lavender oil, i find it very effective.

Answer 3

Yes, I am 9 weeks pregnant. I just take 2 Panadols when the pain gets too much. I also try to sleep the headache off.

Answer 4

I did....ask your doctor. They have migrane strength medication that is safe for pregnancy. It's been a while, so I don't remember what it is called. I also think that you should try having your eyes checked. During pregnancy the baby sucks everything it can from you, and some women loose vision. I had to go to the eye doctor and get glasses b/c that is what was causing my headaches.
