I've had a headache since yesterday in the afternoon, and I still have it this morning, even after sleeping for over 10 hours. Has anyone had this? I'm 15 weeks along.

Bring that up to your doctor ASAP, just to make sure there are no problems with hypertension. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

I'm going on day 7 of the worst migraine of my life. I'm 19 weeks pregnant. My doctor has given me Fioricet, Darvocet, and Vicodin but none of it knocks it out. He's advised me, now, to take a Maxalt. I'm nervous to do so but at this point I think I have no other options.
Did you have headaches prior to pregnancy? Headaches can be common during pregnancy but can also be a sign of preeclampsia. I had this during my 1st pregnancy (and never had a headache in my life until then). I would give your doctor or his/her nurse a call if I were you. The sooner you can treat it, the easier it will be to do so.

I always slept in the first trimester and third, The second I was 'nesting'. I got headaches also. I didn't know it, but when I gave up cokes (no coffee blah) I was getting the caffeine with drawls. So I'd just take a few sips of coke and weened my way to teas.
But if I get headaches now, Propel seems to work. Also, try fruit, apples, pears. Hot showers too.
Congrats!

Just make sure you're getting plenty of water and sleep. Also, try soaking a washcloth in warm water that has been infused with rosemary and placing it on your forehead. Rosemary is supposed to be very good for headaches.

Have you had a history of migraines? Once I got pregnant, my doctor told me that my migraines would probably increase in frequency and be more severe. But fortunately, they stopped. If it continued, I would definitely call the doctor. Good luck!

try some headache remedies, have you put an ice pack on the area that is bothering you? i tried it a few weeks ago with a migraine and it eased the discomfort. i am a constant migraine sufferer so i feel your pain.

I agree it sounds like you may need to up your water, before baby your body needs 8 glasses a day while you are pregnant you and the baby need more.

Yes i do get them all the time but if they do get worse then you should go in because you might have meningitis that is one the most common signs
