23weeks headache that won't go away!!

[Nikki2ol6]

To start off I never get headaches! So this morning I got one, it's not going away I have taken paracetemol and drank a lot of water and juice Iv had my breakfast and lunch but it's still painful!!! I had my bp checked yesterday so don't think it's anything bad! How can I get rid of it?

Are you tired? Maybe have a nap.

Have some caffeine

I've had on/off headaches for the past few weeks. Until last week I was having one every day. I think it's just hormonal as I'm drinking loads and my bp is fine. I'm 21 weeks now. I'm afraid I don't have many helpful suggestions though! Paracetamol, plenty of water and a sweet snack. If that doesn't work, go to bed!

I had a really bad tension headache last week. Putting a hot water bottle on my jaw and neck was the only thing that got rid of it. I think I was grinding my teeth or something

Lucozade, banana and crisps. Sounds weird but my headache that wouldn't go away at about the same point of pregnancy was caused by lack of potassium and sodium. The more water I drank trying to shift the headache the more I diluted the salts in my body and the worse it got.

I recently went to the doctors with severe, persistent headaches. She prescribed co-dydramol which she assured me is safe in pregnancy.
I haven't actually taken any as they tend to make me dizzy but might be worth asking your doctor for help too. My headaches thankfully aren't as bad as they were which is why I decided to cope without x

Have you tried Kool and Soothe blue patches. You stick them on your forehead. They are non-medicinal.

You can buy them in Tescos and Sainsburys

I would try a bath, then get your OH to give you a foot massage then straight to bed and get OH to stroke your head while you relax in bed. Even if it doesn't work it sounds nice eh
