Hi ladies!
Do any of you also have this headache problem right now?? I'm really struggling with it!! I've already talked to my midwife about it, and she said I can take paracetamol, which I do, but it doesn't really help much!! Does anyone have any tips??

    Oh yes... I don't know how far along you are now, but I had it really bad in the beginning, absolutely terrible.
    I used paracetamol too and it didn't help at all... it actually got better on its own after those 12 weeks!!

    I'm 17 weeks pregnant now!! But after another night of not being able to sleep due to the headache this morning, I called the GP and now I'm allowed to take ibuprofen, and it helped right away!!!! Pff, what a relief.

    I'm 16 weeks pregnant and I sometimes get really bad headaches too. What I do is drink lots of water. I already drink a lot of water anyway, but as soon as the headache starts, I immediately go to the tap and drink 3 glasses of water in a row.
    Unfortunately, I also have to go to the bathroom extra often after that but I do feel like the headache gets a bit better.

    I used to get migraines every week, at least 3 days a week. (I do take medication for it, by the way). But since I've been pregnant, I've only had one 3-day migraine episode. I did take the medicine then (otherwise it probably would have lasted a week). The medication is harmless during pregnancy, but I try not to use it .
