I am 15 weeks pregnant and almost everyday i have a headaches. My doctor says its just that i am not drinking enough water but i drink anywhere from 6 to 10 bottles of water a day. That is way more then I was before I told him and the headaches are still here. I take medicine when its really bad but prefer not to do that. Anyone have this problem??? any ideas on how to get rid of them??

I had migraines for the first 3 months with DC 1&2... they just lessened and finally stopped in the 2nd trimester. Its your hormone levels. Sorry... not much help but you do have my sympathy :(

I am right there with you. I am about 14 weeks and have been getting them almost everyday, sometimes starting in the morning when I wake up. I think in my case they are tension headaches due to lack of sleep. From what I hear, the best you can do is some warm towels on the head, lots of rest (good luck!) and tylenol when they're really bad. They are a pain in the neck, literally!

For a second I thought I wrote this thread. Lol I am also 15 weeks today and for the past weeks I’ve been having headaches. I only took Tylenol once and I throw up after that. So that didn't help much. One thing I would suggest to all you ladies go to Wal-Mart or any pharmacy and get a HEAD-ON roller. It really really helps me. And it is good because you are not taking it any medication. You roll it on you forehead and the headache goes away or fades with in few minutes. I wish I know about this earlier. By the way it's only $5. I hope all our headache will go away soon!
