Horrible headaches...

[takeitonthegin]

I am currently 13 weeks and have a horrible headache. It's like a real stabbing pain in my forehead and it hurts to move my head around, I had the same at about 10 weeks and it lasted 4 days.

I have tried Paracetomol but it makes no difference. I have also tried massaging the fleshy part of my thumbs because I read that was a reflexology point for headaches but it hurts more than ever.

Has anyone ever used that roll on headache stick thing?

I find paracetemol works best if taken with a can of coke (the caffeine helps your body absorb the drug) and on a full stomach. Vicks vapour rub helped my headaches too so would imagine the roll on thing would be worth a go. I had a lot in the first trimester so do sympathise. Hope it clears soon.

Drink tones of water and rest, I had them and OMG they nearly killed me.. Only thing that helped was water and rest. Dilute the water if you get fed up. 2 lit a day is what I try and get into me, not easy to think of it all the time but its the only thing that helped me...

I feel for you, they are horrible...

Thank you for your replies. I suspect I dont actually drink enough so will make a conscious effort. Thank you.
