    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!
