Evening everyone,

Slightly loosing my mind still being so sick in the second trimester, and the headaches are almost daily! I’m taking Paracetomal and going through A LOT of these stick on cooling gel strips.

I mentioned headaches to midwife but she said until I’m passed 20 weeks they wouldn’t investigate it as a problem

Any ladies have any advice they could share? Thank you SmileFlowers

Do you find the paracetamol helps? I was advised to avoid it when I had 2 week headaches from fertility medication as it can make the pain worse or last longer. I found the only relief I got was from a sports massage.
Fortunately I haven't had too many since being pregnant but today I did a 20 minute pregnancy yoga video on YouTube and it really helped. I'm going for a pregnancy massage on Wed as I've been generally stiff and achy and I will mention I'm still getting headaches.
Have you tried acupuncture? I've heard that can help too. Unfortunately these things all cost money Sad
Headaches are so horrible. I'm also still sick at 15 weeks and wondering when things will improve.
Hope you get some relief soon x

Paracetamol taken with a full fat coke. I HATE full fat coke but it worked wonders. They only lasted ahout 2 weeks for me but it was miserable, I preferred morning sickness!

Gallons of water, it was crazy dehydration causing my headaches. I peed hourly* throughout my pregnancy!

*may be using hyperbole there...

Thanks ladies really appreciate all your ideas! Not had a headache for two days since drinking cola once or twice a day. I’m not sure if it’s coincidence or if iv finally found a cure!!!!
