tylenol is good and excedderin, although it does have caffeine, it is just tylenol mixed with caffeine, I took it with all three of mine and they turned out just fine

Basic tylenol because there are about 5 types, just one tablet not two, every 8 hours. Also drink loads of water, alot of the time the headaches come from dehydration because the baby is taking all the water you normally use for you own body.
Sleep too, less stress, and try not to do headache causing things like staring at a computer too long or reading small print, or sewing beads :)
Best of luck

headaches can be very serious for your baby. It can really reflect what goes inside your body. It is not a normal sign and symptom as most doctor say it is. Only the experience doctors know this. I had a friend that had a lot of headache during her pregnancy, 18 weeks. She went for a checkup and everything was ok until it was 5 weeks later she went to a well experience doctor who helped her with her headaches. It turns out that the baby had a bit of problem.
thankfully it wasn't too late. The baby was ok, but if she was brought to the hospital just a week later, the baby would've been lost the doctor explained...
GOOD LUCK i know how tough it is. No it's not ok to have headaches.

2 regular strength tylenol, and some rest. The way your hormone levels are they can give you a headache often.

Most ob's will approve Tylenol. But, if u r high risk, or have health issues, I would check first. I am high risk, and they wouldnt let me take ANYTHING until late in my pregnancy.

Tylenol...but if you can see a chiropractor, that can reduce the stress on your spine that causes headaches. He can also pop your back and hips and you feel so good...

I have no idea, but check the carbon monoxide levels in your home. This may be the source of your headaches and may effect your baby. Best wishes and congratulations!

i found actually going to the chiropractor helped more than any medication ever could. some chiropractors will not work on pregnant women but it was a god send for me. when you or if you go make sure they do not mess with the middle part of your back. i still go to my chiropractor and love it. we even take our one year old son every three months to have him checked. i hope this helps.
