I'm 15 weeks and been suffering with headaches for a couple of weeks now:(
They were reaching migraine-like proportions - photosensitivity, floating spots, blurry vision etc so I went to the dr who prescribed co-codamol. I had been taking just paracetamol but it wasn't touching it. The co-codamol is working a lot better but the headaches never seem to go completely, just get worse if I'm in front of the computer/tv or reading for any length of time.
I'm also waking up most mornings with a blocked nose - it seems to clear once im up and about though.

Yer my blocked nose goes once im up I'm 16 weeks, I can't take co-codamol due to codeine im allergic to it.

If it does not ease up over the weekend i will see the doctor monday.

Hi, I was suffering a lot last week at 14 weeks. I read to take a paracetamol with a shot of caffeine, ie a cup of tea, which I did and it did the trick. Hope they ease off soon!

Ended up going to the out of hours gp at 12 o'clock last night couldn't stand the pain any longer turns out I have sinusitis been given antibiotics for a week.
Doctor told me to only take paracetamol but midwife on phone said i can take ibuprofen i found that strange an most say not aloud to! x
