Talk to your dr. There is another medicine they can prescribe that is a little stronger than Tylenol. I can not recall the name but was offered it at my last appointment If my head aches don't get better.

I've had migraines for almost 7 years now. I talked to my ob when I got pregnant and they gave me a med that is safe during pregnancy and for migraines. So talk to your doctor because there is something they can give you.

The shower thing helps! Also try rubbing peppermint oil on your temples & forehead then adjust a fan to directly blow onto your head-the fan will make the peppermint feel very cold-It works for me :)

Hope you start to feel better soon x

Hey there, i was diagnosed with the same thing! Migraines are horrible! !! Ive asked many drs including my ob and done research on migraine medication during pregnancy. It is ok to take certain medications during pregnancy to help with them. Imatrex nasal spray is 1, theres a few depression medications safe during pregnancy that help as well. Talk to ur ob and migraine treating dr. If u suffer like i do the stress and amounts of pain arent good for the baby and treating it with certain meds are ok.

Pretty much the only thing is Tylenol.
