Hello ladies

I have had a headache for what seems like eternity!!

I went to the docs and he told me I was not taking enough paracetemol and I needed to take them every 4 hrs for a couple of days and it would go.
I did that....it went....stopped taking the tablets & it has come back :doh:

I am getting really fed up with it now

Poor girls :-(

I got headaches too when I was pregnant.

Keep drinking plenty of water, that may help a bit. And don't let yourself get too hungry.

I had them loads too!! Just try and chill out when you can... I found wearing sunglasses helped and if you work in front of a computer all day your employers by law have to give you those screen protectors and foot stools. Also breaks away from the computer too!!!

Thanks girls.

It is frustrating isn't it!!!
I have one of those 4head things which do help.

DH read up on them and said that I need to be eating little & often and that will help. Also watch what you eat...make sure you are eating good things and not things filled with too much sugar etc!

Saying that for lunch I had a cheese & tomatoe toastie (not too bad) a can of diet coke & a double decker!!! I needed comfort food!!! :oops:

I had really bad headaches at the end of the first, and beginning of the second trimester. I didn't bother with paracetemol because it's never had any effect on me, but instead got a stick of 4head, which I liked because you really can feel it working. My headaches didn't go completely, but they did go down a little bit.

The only time the headaches actually stopped was when I went to the optitians for a checkup and had some stronger lenses put in my glasses. I never take my glasses off now because I'm scared of getting the headache back! :doh:
