Natural headache relief during pregnancy?
I have been getting killer headaches about every other day. I am 4 weeks along. Does anyone know any great headache relief? What worked for you? I do not want to take tylenol every time I get a headache...

1. Tyenol sometimes or just a gel cold pack for 30 minutes2. When I would get headaches then doctor said all I could have was tylenol well tylenol DIDNT work. So I started taking it with caffenie Id have like 1/2 a can of coke with my tylenol and that make it go away. Thats what does it now. Earlier in my pregnancy I had headahces so bad my doctor had to prescribe me hydrocodone which all that made me do was sleep for 3 hours at least.
Try some caffenie when you get a headache.
3. I'd have really bad migraines earlier in my pregnancy. I'd use cold packs to help. I didn't take any pain reliever for my migraines during my first trimester. I used cold packs and rest for my migraines and they worked! =)
4. a glass of coke *8oz* the caffine helps and that little amount wont affect the baby..
5. well i was getting hea aches to...so bad i didnt even want the light on .... my mom looked up home remedies that were safe for me and the baby. and come to find out if you take a lime and cut it in 1/2 and rub it on your forhead it works ! ......
try it sometime....now days i keep a frig. stocked full of limes lol
6. Many good painrelivers have already been suggested. Another non-pharmacological pain relief is by acupressure. Usually the tension headaches are in frontal portion of the head. Occasionally you get tension headache in the back part. The points are- just lateral to the eyes (both sides) for frontal headache and about two inches behind the ears (both sides) for backside headaches.
By your index fingers you keep continuous pressure over the indicated points for 2-3 minutes, it usually gives immediate relief till the other medicine starts to work.
Hope it helps.
Congrats & Good luck with your pregnancy!
