:angry I know I've seen threads lately about headaches/migraines, I've probably posted in all of them......I'm 16 weeks and going on a 4 day headache right now. In a week I have a headache at least 5 of those seven days. I take Tylenol everyday, sometimes up to 3 doses a day. I've tried all sorts of homeopathic remedies, massage, I see my chiro regularly, anyone else having this problem? The Tylenol doesn't even get rid of the headaches, it just makes it almost bearable so that I can take care of my Dd's. Is all of this Tylenol okay for the baby? My mainstream ob says it's okay & I haven't read otherwise, but I hate taking anything during pg.

Have you tried talking to your doctor about a prescription for the headaches? That much Tylenol really can't be good I am sure, even if it is 'safe'. I know there are some drugs that are suppose to be safe during pregnancy for migrains. I don't know what they are because I didn't find out about them until after DS was born, and this time my headaches usually go away with Tylenol, or I can just manage through them fairly easily.

With DS I had migrains at least once a week with many headaches inbetween. It really sucked but luckily I could just lay in bed all day. I feel extremely lucky that I haven't had them in this pregnancy (with DS it lasted my whole pregnancy). So I can somewhat feel your pain.
