Really bad headache

[Woodland]

I have had a headache starting last night and lasting all day. It hurts so bad. I got some accupuncture today and it helped but it seems like it just came back full force. Do you think this will go away by tomorrow? I have horrible nausea so this is just not my lucky day. :gloomy: I am also getting really emotional. I saw my dh today and I just started crying. I will be 8 weeks on monday and I cant wait to be 14 weeks. ouchie. :irked:

:hug I'm so sorry. That sounds horrible. :( I sure hope it goes away for you.

I've been crying at everything too. *sigh*

Ugh. I hate headaches, and yours sounds really awful! Are you drinking enough water? That was my biggest problem with my last pregnancy... I literally had to carry water around all day long and drink continuously to avoid dehydration headaches. Hang in there! :hug

Ooo, I feel ya on the headaches. What sometimes works for me is a hot shower or a hotpad on the neck muscles causing the headache or a good massage. Also keeping well hydrated and full helps too.

I'm sorry about the headache. Those are tough. I always have headaches during pregnancy--they are really my only negative pregnancy symptom. I hope yours was just a passing thing, but I have headaches during pregnancy from near the beginning to around 28-32 weeks. They are pretty rough ones--not as debilitating as a strong migraine, but maybe nearly as painful as a mild migraine. They happen every day to every few days. I had my first one on Thursday (6 weeks for me) and it lasted from about 11am to 9pm. I hope yours was just a fluke, good luck!

I'm a migraine sufferer as well and there's not a darn thing I can do about them during the 1st & 3rd trimester but suffer. I'm hoping they go away with this preg, they didn't with ds-they were more intense-grrrr.
