Headaches

So I'm about 4 weeks and I'm having constant headaches and still a bit crampy. How long do these headaches last because I don't want to keep popping Tylenol. :/ Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Depends on the person, honestly, and how many headaches you had pre-pregnancy. I think they start to go away after the 1st trimester, like most of the other shitty symptoms. I put vicks on my temples, or another type of menthol rub (like biofreeze for arthrisis)

I've been fighting tension headaches since before pregnancy and was being treated quite effectively with acupuncture for them. However, now a lot of the effective points are no longer able to be used due to the pregnancy.

I have found the best way I'm able to control them is with some caffeine. If I feel one coming on, I have a small cup of coffee and it helps so much for me!

I also bought an eye pillow that I can put in the freezer. When they get bad or it's later at night and I don't want caffeine, I lay down with that over my eyes and it is also very soothing for me.

I hope you find relief that works for you soon! I sympathize so much with anyone who suffers from headaches of any type!!!

I never get headaches unless I'm hungry or dehydrated. For the past few days I've been getting sharp temple pains that pass after a few minutes when I am neither hungry or dehydrated I'm chugging water like a crazy woman! I can commiserate!
