Massage has many benefits and can be great for all different kinds of pain that may come with pregnancy! I would try a massage (perfectly safe in any trimester), have the therapist work your neck and shoulders, it could help a tremendous amount.

Hi there! I've suffered from migraines for years and was put on topamax to help them. When I became pregnant I had to get off of it.  To help with my headaches now, I take one benadryl before bed. (It is perfectly safe during pregnancy) In the morning, I take one more and try not to get up too fast.  Drink a full glass of water and about two hours later, I take Tylenol.  If I do this, I'm good all day.  If it does get too bad, I carry a bag of frozen peas and put it on top of my head.  I hope this helps! :)

Try some Tylenol with a coke it worked for me. I don't really like the taste of coke but it gets my headache taking care of.
