Headaches, what do you do for them?

[Cherished]

Thanks girls, I have been drinking loads of water and dh and I just got back from the pool where I totally cooled off. I might get some panadine in case the panadol doesn't work... Last time I was pg I had a spliting headache and was crying and in so much distress! It was n't until the next day that I took panadol after dh had researched that it was OK,that's why I didn't mind taking some yesterday but it still didnt' work

I forgot to mention that I've also been taking magnesium for relaxing muscles as I thought it may have come on from neck tension? Magnesium can be a diaretic so I've been drinking even more water to counteract that! It has started to ease off so hopefully tomorrow it will be gone after a cup of camemile tea and a good sleep tonight.

Thanks again ladies

I know this will sound silly but try some chocolate. It absolutely works a treat for me. I am always feeling a lot better an hour later. And then just get a really good night's sleep.

Also, I've found that the key with pregnancy headaches is to nip them in the bud with a couple of Panadol fairly quickly. When I tried to hold off I found that the headache got so bad that it would take a few doses of Panadol to finally get it under control, so I wound up taking more than I would have otherwise.

You poor thing!! Could it be the way you're carrying yourself? As you know your whole posture & the way you hold yourself changes when you're pregnant. This can cause headaches due to muscle tension in your back & neck.
Maybe try seeing a remedial massause (sp?) but make sure they are familiar with pregnant women as there are certain spots to avoid.

If it's from your neck I'd recommend finding a good chiropractor. I used to have regular headaches caused by neck pain but haven't had one in a few months. I my Chiro lol

Hope you feel better soon chica!
