Headaches in pregnancy

[mmc1xo]

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on relieving headaches with pregnancy. This is my third pregnancy now I've never really suffered with headaches in previous pregnancies. They are becoming really hard to handle especially in the evenings/night.

I got headaches with dc#3, really bad ones.

One of the issues was that I would try not to take anything for it, so they ended up being worse because normally I try and ward off a headache at the beginning. So ultimately I ended up needing to take more medication.

What I found the best was a codeine paracetamol mix, dissolvable as by the time I took anything I was feeling sick and unable to swallow tablets. However, this was a number of years ago now , and so do check first that this is safe in pregnancy, as guidelines change.
