Headaches - how long did they last?

[OceanPrincess]

Im the same - as soon as the MS stops the daily headaches came - they probably lasted till bout 18-19 weeks.

Yeah that. Longer for DD's pregnancy, bout that for DS. My Obs said if you are prone to headaches normally, pregnancy can exacerbate them.

She also told me not to be a martyr - take panadol if I needed it.

Hmmm....hoping they're not going to hang around for the long haul. I don't remember this with DD.

I've taken panadol, but I don't want to take it every four hours if I can avoid it. Seems the headache eases and then lets me know when the four hours of panadol is up

Probably doesn't help me sitting here staring at the computer

I usually have them pretty consistently until about 25 weeks, and then they drop away to a maybe once a week thing. I am very prone to headaches and migraine though so it was always going to be a problem for me.

When not pregnant I survive on mersyndol and panadeine forte, and while my OB has prescribed panadeine forte for me I am reluctant to take anything at all. If they're really bad and I have to go out somewhere then I'll take a couple of panadol but that's about it. Otherwise, I use cold compresses or hot showers - seems pretty hit and miss what works when I'm pregnant.

Hope they ease soon for you. Nothing worse, especially when you've got a LO who needs your attention.
