What are some remedies for headaches for a pregnant woman?

Q. I know Tylenol is safe, but I'm just not comfortable taking it...

I have a very severe headache. Before pregnancy, my headaches will not go away, no matter what, for days, until I take pain relief medications. I'm feeling that it's the same now that I'm pregnant - but I don't want to take Tylenol. Also, this is the first time I get a headache since I got pregnant, I'm 11 weeks.

A. You would be perfectly safe taking tylenol...why torture yourself!!

I've always gotten severe migraines, so when i was pregnant, my doc said if 1000mg of tylenol doesn't work, I could take motrin, but just 1.

Try a hot bath...or lay down in a dark room and listen to some soft music..

Hope something helps!!

Original Question

What do you do for those awful pregnancy headaches?

Q. I am currently 12 weeks pregnant and I get a headache almost daily. My doc says it's ok to take Tylenol, but that has never helped. I have always taken Excedrin and it works like a dream. Now that I'm pregnant, I have taken it a few times, but I know I can't take it daily. What the heck can I do? I have always had headaches, but always been able to take something that knocks them out to. What do you do?

Oh-laying down is not an option as I work full time (secretary) and have 3 more children when I get home. Thanks!
So I called my OB--he called in a prescription for Darvocet..I really questioned him on how on earth this could be safer than excedrin and he was very adimant about not taking aspirin of any kind..alrighty then..now I know.

A. Ask you doctor. They might give you a prescription that is stronger but safe for the baby.

Original Question

How do pregnancy tests work?

Q. I had sex about 3 weeks ago and the condom broke. I recently started feeling the typical signs of pregnancy; nauseous, headaches, tender breasts, cramps, bloating, mood swings, insomnia, loss of concentration, cravings, as well as the typical pregnancy discharge. I'm buying a pregnancy test tomorrow but I heard that I won't get results until the time my regular period should come... I feel like shit and I can't wait that long.

Or maybe this whole pregnancy thing is in my head?

A. If you don't wait that long you could get a false negative.

Pregnancy tests measure the amount of HCG in your urine, when a woman becomes pregnant she starts to produce HCG, the hormone doubles every 2-3 days so it's best to wait until you miss your period for 2 reasons.

Reason 1 is because you might get your period on time and you wasted money and time testing too early. Reason 2 there might not be enough HCG in your urine to be detected on a hpt because it starts of with a small amount and increases overtime.

Original Question

Can I be pregnant with Negative at home pregnancy test?

Q. Today I am exactly 1 week late with my period. I have not had any unusual stress that I can think of that would have caused my period to be late. I have taken 3 tests this past week and they have all been negative. I am having some symptoms that could relate to the early signs of pregnancy: Nausea, Headaches, Fatigue, I get slight sharp pains in my stomach and also a little bloating. Has anyone experienced this? Negative tests, but pregnant?

A. You could be pregnant. I would wait a few more days before testing again. Also make sure to test with your first urine of the day since it is more concentrated. If it still comes back negative then you may want to call your doctor. Also women do miss periods for no reason at all. It may be nothing. If you do wait and miss another period i would definitely call the doctor since their may be something going on that is messing with your cycles. Also some women don't test positive on a pregnancy test until much later. The most accurate would be a blood test from your doctor. Hope this helps!

A. You don't test in relation to your period, you test in relation to when you had sex last. If you are on bc then you shouldn't be pregnant and your symptoms can be from that. Test 3 weeks from when you last had sex or after a missed period.

When in your pregnancy did you start feeling this?

Q. How early in pregnancy? did you feel bloated? and with cramping, heavy abdomen? frequent urination? consipation? in early pregnancy? headaches?

what were your experiences? Need info, advice, comments, suggestions.
thanks for you time and attention.

A. I'm currently nine weeks. I started feeling all the symptoms at about 4-5 weeks. I have nausea, cramping, bloating, heavy feeling, tender breasts, frequent urination (and the other, due to vitamins, I think), headaches, and a little weepiness. I'm just trying to wait it out. And I'm lucky to have a great hubby who waits on me hand and foot.

early pregnancy related headaches or something more serious?

Q. I have early pregnancy headaches. The DR says they are pregnancy headaches because of the hormones. Mine feel worse on one side but it feels like someones squeezing my head as hard as they can. Do any of you have this?

A. your Dr is right the rising hormones and all the changes your body is going through with the new pregnancy makes headaches very common and yes you are right they are very severe ive had them so bad with both of my children i literally could not get out of bed the best and only thing i can suggest is apply a cold compress lay down drink a big glass of cool water and take two tylenol! i hope you feel better honey! pregnancy is not all glitz and glamour :) but it does have an awesome outcome.

Original Question

Does a home pregnancy test work while you are on your period?

Q. I started my period at the normal time this month, but I have all the classic signs of pregnancy: headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, tired all the time, back pain (these symptoms have been going on for the past 10 days)- and my period is lighter than normal and a darker color. One of my friends had her period at the normal time 4 months into her pregnancy and didnt find out she was pregnant until she missed her period the 5th month. I am on my period now and going crazy thinking I might be pregnant- would a home pregnancy test be accurate while I am still on my period- how long should I wait before i test? Please respond with anything!!!

A. it depends their is one kind of bleeding that messes up your hormones and you may not test positive right away look up deciudal bleeding ( i hope i spelled that right ) but with that type of bleeding your hormones would be so out of whack that you shed your uterine wall something like a normal period and in most cases it doesn't affect the baby.

Original Question

What part of the head to pregnancy headaches occur?

Q. I know that a symptom of pregnancy is having headaches. But like where do you feel the pain at...(the back of the head, the side of the head, the front of the head.)

A. 14 wks pregnant and have had a continues headache in the front of my head for a weeks.


but they can be caused by a number of things so there isn't really a place.


i think mine are lack of sleep and dehydration. i can't stay hydrated. i drink water all day long and wake up a time or two at night for a drink. ugh. it sucks.

other things can cause them tho...

low blood sugar
hormones
caffeine withdrawal
stress
stuffy nose (actually a pregnancy symptom, extra blood means extra fluids coming out of everywhere... sorry to be graphic.)

and so many other things... if you are pregnancy and having a headache feel free to take a tylonal but make sure it doesn't have any other chemicals in it.

tylonl is ok in pregnancy and nothin else!

Q. Today I am exactly 1 week late with my period. I have not had any unusual stress that I can think of that would have caused my period to be late. I have taken 3 tests this past week and they have all been negative. I am having some symptoms that could relate to the early signs of pregnancy: Nausea, Headaches, Fatigue, I get slight sharp pains in my stomach and also a little bloating. Has anyone experienced this? Negative tests, but pregnant?

A. You could be pregnant. I would wait a few more days before testing again. Also make sure to test with your first urine of the day since it is more concentrated. If it still comes back negative then you may want to call your doctor. Also women do miss periods for no reason at all. It may be nothing. If you do wait and miss another period i would definitely call the doctor since their may be something going on that is messing with your cycles. Also some women don't test positive on a pregnancy test until much later. The most accurate would be a blood test from your doctor. Hope this helps!

A. You don't test in relation to your period, you test in relation to when you had sex last. If you are on bc then you shouldn't be pregnant and your symptoms can be from that. Test 3 weeks from when you last had sex or after a missed period.

What are some remedies for headaches for a pregnant woman?

Q. I know Tylenol is safe, but I'm just not comfortable taking it...

I have a very severe headache. Before pregnancy, my headaches will not go away, no matter what, for days, until I take pain relief medications. I'm feeling that it's the same now that I'm pregnant - but I don't want to take Tylenol. Also, this is the first time I get a headache since I got pregnant, I'm 11 weeks.

A. You would be perfectly safe taking tylenol...why torture yourself!!

I've always gotten severe migraines, so when i was pregnant, my doc said if 1000mg of tylenol doesn't work, I could take motrin, but just 1.

Try a hot bath...or lay down in a dark room and listen to some soft music..

Hope something helps!!

What do you do for those awful pregnancy headaches?

Q. I am currently 12 weeks pregnant and I get a headache almost daily. My doc says it's ok to take Tylenol, but that has never helped. I have always taken Excedrin and it works like a dream. Now that I'm pregnant, I have taken it a few times, but I know I can't take it daily. What the heck can I do? I have always had headaches, but always been able to take something that knocks them out to. What do you do?

Oh-laying down is not an option as I work full time (secretary) and have 3 more children when I get home. Thanks!
So I called my OB--he called in a prescription for Darvocet..I really questioned him on how on earth this could be safer than excedrin and he was very adimant about not taking aspirin of any kind..alrighty then..now I know.

A. Ask you doctor. They might give you a prescription that is stronger but safe for the baby.

Original Question

How do pregnancy tests work?

Q. I had sex about 3 weeks ago and the condom broke. I recently started feeling the typical signs of pregnancy; nauseous, headaches, tender breasts, cramps, bloating, mood swings, insomnia, loss of concentration, cravings, as well as the typical pregnancy discharge. I'm buying a pregnancy test tomorrow but I heard that I won't get results until the time my regular period should come... I feel like shit and I can't wait that long.

Or maybe this whole pregnancy thing is in my head?

A. If you don't wait that long you could get a false negative.

Pregnancy tests measure the amount of HCG in your urine, when a woman becomes pregnant she starts to produce HCG, the hormone doubles every 2-3 days so it's best to wait until you miss your period for 2 reasons.

Reason 1 is because you might get your period on time and you wasted money and time testing too early. Reason 2 there might not be enough HCG in your urine to be detected on a hpt because it starts of with a small amount and increases overtime.
