i used to get those suckers!!
man, they were not fun, but i just pushed through it and at some point they went away, but i don't know when b/c i just tried to phase them out of my mind. mind over matter, ya know??
my ob said i could use tylenol, but i didn't like that thought b/c it would have been every day and i wanted to have as little unnatural stuff ingested as possible.
so, that's what i did, mom. hang in there and eventually they will go away...even if it's after the baby is born:)
take care.

I'm 15 weeks and still continute to get headaches (bad ones) on and off. If you cannot stand the headache anymore you are allowed to take regular Tylonal. Don't take Ibuprophen or anything else though. They other kinds make your liver and kidneys work much harder and they're already working overtime with the baby.
Good luck!

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

I had my 14 appointment yesterday and asked my doctor this very question. he said that 1000's of women complain of just this. He said that (in my case) since all else is well that it is most likely caused by hormone changes and changes in caffeine intake. He said I am allowed to take up to 4 regular strength tylenol per day--- 2 per dose of course. I hope this helps --- but you should always ask your doctor questions like this. Call them, I call and ask silly questions all the time.
Good Luck to You

When you feel your headache start drink something high in caffiene. That is one of the ingredients from migraine meds and it worked for me. Also if you talk to your OB they might prescribe something for the pain. Mine gave me loritabs in small doses so I could still function and Tylenol with codeine. Both are safe if you use them in moderation.

It sounds like you need to see a doctor to find out what might be causing the headaches. The doctor might be able to prescribe something for you that could help get rid of the headaches better for you.
