    Ice packs work really well, the other thing I usually try is a nice cup of tea. Something with caffeine.

    I have been having dreadful headaches through most of pregnancy - it takes mersyndol to be able to sleep at night because they are so bad.

    Saturday morning at acupuncture, I had needles in my neck and my arms in particular spots... She also gave me leave in needles in those spots (a tiny little square of bandaid that covers a little coild spring with a spike on the end that goes in)... I was told to massage the needles if I get another headache, but so far it has been complete and instant relief. Not even a panadol since they went in!

    Slice some ginger into a bottle of water and drink that during the day

    Thought i would mention that the pressure point in between the thumb and first finger that is often used to help relieve headaches should not be stimulated in pregnancy as it can bring on labour
    not that anyone mentioned that one!
