Headache and pregnancy, how much is too much pain?
I got a nasty headache last night(Sunday night, its still Monday here) to where I couldn't move my eyes or head and my whole body felt blah. I wake up today and still have it just not as bad(My husband watches our son till my hubby goes to work at 2pm so I sleep sense I have issues sleeping at night due to pregnancy) and took some Tylenol at 4pm. The tylenol didn't help so I tried drinking Pepsi thinking it was caused by not having caffine like I usually do sense I've been trying to cut back sense becoming pregnant.
Nothing has helped, and the headache is just above my eyes and behind my eyes. Hurts to move my eyes, I get dizzy when I move my head, and its now causing me to puke(Havent' all day and was able to eat a normal amount of food today).
I'm lost at what to do. I can't put heat on my head it makes me puke so thats out.
I dont know what to do for it at 15weeks 2days. I had headaches with my son but I was 7+ mo along and thats when my BP started going up, mines been good at around 126/74.
I've eaten quite a bit in the last few days and drinken as much as I could today. But the last hour I started puking everything up, and now can't get anything down.(its 11:47pm here)

1. I get headaches too. I usually just eat something and it goes away. You can get hunger headaches when you're pregnant. Or you aren't getting enough rest.2. All you can take is tylenol so I would call the doctor if it is that bad. They might be able to prescribe something to help it since tylenol is the only over-the-counter medicine allowed. Hope it goes away.
3.
it just for three month after that every thing normal
4. Pregnancy books recommend that for a headache this bad, you call your doctor about it.
This is migraine level pain. I've been there, and the only things I can tell you to solve it do not mesh with pregnancy. So please contact your doctor immediately.
Oh, and stop with the caffeine. Caffeine can get you into a viscious cycle with headaches. I was able to get my migraines under control with eliminating caffeine from my diet along with a few other things. Caffeine is bizzare. It can fix a headache, but you can get a rebound headache afterwards. It is not worth it in the end. P
5. I get these too put a wet wash cloth in the freezer until its hard or atleast quite cold and put it around your neck or on your forehead for a while well resting feels great usually works sometimes it just takes time.
