Cold compresses, tylenol, hot shower, caffeine, sometimes i eat something with some sugar in it. Depends usually on what brought the headache on. When not pg i take Excedrin that is a total help.

your dress is gorgeous!
as for the question....when it was pre-preggers, just a couple of Advil, and a quick nap.
Now....well I'm just screwed until I talk to my doctor!

I wet a washcloth with water. Then place it in the freezer until it is chilled. then I go an lay down, close my eyes, & place the chilled rag on my forehead. This is what helps with my migraines. Because I hate taking pills

Tylenol if it's bad, otherwise I just ignore it. I had a threemonth headache while I was pregnant, so I've gotten used to it...

Vodka!!!! Ok that was a joke! I usually have to take a prescription pain killer if it's really bad. A great thing to do is to lay in the dark with an ice pack right at the base of your neck for about 30 minutes. It works pretty well for mild-moderate headaches and you can repeat after about 30 minutes until it goes away. I learned this from my chiropractor. He says that even though your headache might not be in that area, that most headaches start here.

I take Tylenol, and if I can, I lie down for a while.

Napersen (or Naperson) and a whole lot of water. I never am in need of caffiene, but sometimes I need some sugar. If it's sinus - Claritin D or nother.
Since I'm pregnant...it's nothing as Tylenol just doesn't do a thing for me. I just try to stay as hydrated as possible.

I take 4 ibprofin...and use a rice heating pad to wrap around my neck! If its real bad, I take a scalding hot shower....just stand in it for about 20mins and let the water shoot my neck...feels great !

massage the pressure point thats between your pointer finger and thumb... the skin thats right there... Make sure your massaging the side opposite from the side that your headache is on.
