Pregnancy headaches?!? What causes them and is it a headache or migrane? Can't tell. I'm 16 weeks along.?

But if it keeps bothering me to talk to her, which she is a hour away so I don't have the conveinence to hop in the car and be there in a few minutes either. I did stop drinking caffine. I cut out pop/soda and drink decaf coffee.

Headache during pregnancy? I usually have headaches all the time and I'm used to taking Motrin for them, but now that I'm pregnant I haven't had many headaches thankfully because tylenol is the only option but tylenol doesn't do anything to help me at all.

Pregnancy Headache Prescriptions ? Ive been getting migraines off and on since I got pregnant, but ive had this migraine since tuesday night and its driving me crazy. Tylenol and Ibuprofen do not work anymore, so I called my doctor yesterday and he prescribed Fioricet. Has anyone else takin this? So i take it, and it only dulls my migraine to a headache, then my migraine comes back 2 hours later plus im more nauseous and I feel jittery. I looked it up online and it has caffeine in it which I REALLY do not want. This whole thing is starting to affect my work and majorly my sleep. Anybody have suggestions? Should I contact my doctor again? Cuz somtimes I feel like maybe im just being a wuss and I dont want to bother him again :( Additional Note: The doctor said it just fine for me to take Ibuprofen.

Also, high contact sports can harm the baby if the girl were to fall... OPINIONS??

constant headache during pregnancy? I'm 39+4 weeks pregnant, for the past 3 weeks i've had a constant headache and lights infront of my eyes. Sometimes even sinus pains.

But I feel as though the midwives are not listening to me. I know there is something wrong but when i've been in to say they just say the baby is fine and there is nothing that we can see is wrong. It's really getting to me now, I can't do anything ie watch tele, or read a book because of these headaches and am getting really frustrated with the midwives. What do i do?

Throbbing Headache During Pregnancy? I will be 16 weeks pregnant on tuesday and have been having non-stop headaches for the last few weeks. They have recently gotten worse and it just feels like theres a huge amount of pressure squeezing the left side of my head, towards the front. My OB is out of town till Mon and I'm in pain! Is there anything I can do besides hydrating and taking tylenol? I've tried drinking coke and it helps mildly but doesnt make the pain go away and I worry about having too much caffine. Thanks!!! I was told by my dr several weeks ago when I brought this up that it's too early to be pre-eclampsia, and I check my blood pressure at home several times a week anyway, and its low-normal. I spoke with the nurse but she said that unless its an emergency (and it's not really) that their practice prefers that the Dr you work with be the one to prescribe things. I can always call back later if things get worse.

Pregnancy Headaches... Any advice? I've been battling a headache for over a day now and regardless of what anyone says, I refuse take Tylenol, regardless of how "safe" it is, my baby doesn't know what it is, and doesn't need that crap in it's innocent system while it's trying to develop. If anyone has had any luck with any natural remedies, I'd love to give them a shot! Negative comments WILL be reported, come on ladies, we're all on the same page here, no need to be nasty because of the choices I make in my pregnancy. Thank you.
Headache Remedies in Pregnancy? Any suggestions? I am about 6 weeks along and my head is killing me! I used to take Migrin for my migraines, but I don't think that is safe in pregnancy. Doc is obviously closed tonight.

Really bad headache at 12 weeks pregnancy, should i be worried?....? I will be 13 weeks on Monday. I have also booked a docs appt for Monday night, but I just wanted to check if it was normal to get such bad headaches in early pregnancy. I had my blood pressure checked at my first booking appt at 7 weeks which was fine. I used to have it done every 6 months before I was pregnant, and was also fine, not sure if this can suddenly change in pregnancy. Yesterday my headache got really bad, like a pounding/pressure type feeling, I went to get my highlights done last night (first time in 3 months) which my midwife said is absolutely fine. I don't know if the smells in the hairdressers made me feel worse or whether my headache was just progressing, but I'm worried about it all. I went to bed at 9am, woke up at 7.30 this morning and although the headache has eased a lot since last night, I can still feel it. Should I be worried, or just wait for my appt on Monday night? Many thanks for your help. sorry, should of said, 'went to bed at 9pm....'

Is headache while hungry a pregnancy symptom? I don't know if I'm pregnant, but I suspect it because I missed my period last month and still haven't had it this month(I'd be appox 9 weeks preggie) anyways...everytime I get hungry or outside in the heat, I get either a slight or real bad headache. Could this mean I'm pregnant?
Upper stomach pain, headache, nausea...pregnancy? Starting yesterday, I've had a headache that is sitting directly in my forehead and it's so painful. I tried rubbing it and putting ice on it and nothing worked. This morning, I began to feel nauseated and I made breakfast but it came right back up (TMI, I'm sorry). Every time I feel nauseated, the pain in my stomach is in my upper abdomen and it hurts. I tried to research more about this and they said that it could be preeclamsia but I also learned that it's not very common before the 20th week and I'm only 15 weeks. I have a prenatal appointment tomorrow with my doctor which is why I'm not too worried about it but what do you guys think it could be? Also, it's very hot where I live so maybe that contributes to the headaches and nausea? Thanx :-)

Migraines or Sinus headache in pregnancy, which one? I'm currently 38w3d's pregnant and having terrible headaches for past couple of days. Mainly it's on the right side of my head that hurts. It feels like someone is poking my brain, like it will burst at any time. To try to ease the pain, I'll rub my temples but that doesn't help that much. Does this sound like a migraine or a sinus headache? What are the best remedies for it to go away? Thanks in advance! My blood pressure has been checked and it's not high at all. Also I'm not seeing bright spots or black outs. Just to add if I inhale (like take a deep breath), I can feel it start to throb a bit. Also I have doctor's appt tomorrow, so well see but just wanted some advice beforehand.

headache pregnancy symptom? I have skipped the entire month of November, and am now due for December, and nothing yet.. I do have a horrible headache and don't feel good at all right now.. I've also had a ton of stinky gas (sorry tmi),and really hungry around the clock for the past 2 weeks or more. I've also been a real bi*ch towards my poor fiance.. for like no reason.. last month around this time i didn't even want to be near him.. it has since gotten better with that, but i still have mood swings non stop.. 1 minute I am fine, the next i am a raging bi*ch.. and it seems its for the smallest things, or nothing at all. This headache came out of no where though.. the past hour... its not a migraine, just all over my head. HELP. i took 2 pregnancy tests, 1 last week and 1 when i was 6 days late, both in the afternoon, both negative. if i was pregnant, i'd be 8 weeks. Can this be the very beginning of morning sickness? can morning sickness just be a bad headache that causes nausea?

I have a 4 year old son and with him I had badd morning sickness since 7 weeks till about 5 months. Can this be the beginning of morning sickness for me? Do you think I am pregnant??

Bloated stomach, migraine style headache, nausea, pregnancy? Those are some of the things I've been experiencing for a few days now. I haven't thrown up or anything, but I instantly got an upset stomach as soon as my head started hurting. I just ate a lot of food it seems as though there's a slight increase in my appetite. Also for the past week my breasts have been somewhat fuller than normal. Are these signs of pregnancy? I am sexually active with my current boyfriend, and we do not use a condom but practice the pull-out method. I have PCOS and haven't had a period in a while.
What is a natural cure for headaches during pregnancy.? I have horrible headaches. Tylenol doesn't work. I feel guilty for taking that anyway. What can I do besides laying down in a dark room. I have a five yr old so that's not always possible.
Are pregnancy symptoms a good sign in this case? A few months ago I had an early miscarriage at 5.5 weeks. During the time I was pregnant I had no symptoms of pregnancy. This pregnancy I am at 5.5 weeks and feeling some slight nausea and evening headache (which are the same symptoms I had with 2 previous children). Since I am having pregnancy symptoms can I assume this pregnancy is safe and will not result in miscarriage? I feel really great, if I am to miscarry are there usually symptoms before the bleeding begins?
How to get rid of a headache in pregnancy? I really don't want to take any medicine, is there a natural way I can get rid of this headache?
Was headache a sign of pregnancy for you? I'm ttc #2 and have not had a headache in a long time until this week. I'm breastfeeding and my period has not yet returned. Just wonder if this warrants a test or not. The headache has been on and off for about a week and I don't want to take ib-profrin just in case I am pregnant. Thanks for your answers.
