Yes I've had these throughout the second trimester (currently 24 weeks), they're awful.
Not got much advice as all I do is take paracetamol and have a lie down if possible. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone

Paracetamol which is fine to take. Also try the migraine cold strips- one on your forehead and one on the back of your neck. I found mine did stop a little later in pregnancy so hopefully not with you the whole time.

Sorry you’re having these. I got this and just took paracetamol. The mask definitely helped with mine and mine were migraines often lasting 3 days.
