Headaches!

I'm 8 weeks and for the last week I've had the worst headache. I'm reluctant to take any pain relief but it is becoming unbearable !! What am I allowed to take and are these likely to last?

I Had the same and it was caffeine withdrawls as I was addicted to Mother / redbull and went cold turkey when I found out I was pregnant.  My doc told me to have 1 or 2 coffees a day I did that then weaned myself and am fine now.
I did however have a migraine the other week and hospital gave me 2 x panadein fortes which contain 500mg of paracetamol and 30mg of codeine in each. They said I could have been having regular panadol throughout the whole pregnancy or aspirin. It is just a no no to have ibuprofen. ...

talk to your GP . Every one has and will give u different advice it gets real confusing.

Tylenol is about it.. Unless the doctor prescribes you something.. Headaches are the worst part besides morning sickness.
