IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN TAKE FOR A HEADACHE WHILE I AM PREGNANT?
Yes. The best things to "take" are time, fluid and rest!
However, headaches in pregnancy should get evaluated by your doctor because headaches could be the result of elevated blood pressure or other causes. Once the rare but important conditions have been assessed you doctor might allow you to use Tylenol (acetaminophen), but not more than 3 times day and no longer than 14 days! Avoiding dehydration is also helpful. Your doctor will not allow Aspirin or Ibuprofen or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent because they can hurt your baby. Also make sure to mention the problem at your next OB visit. Tell them how often you do end up taking medication for a headache and if it's working. Frequent headaches are a problem. Your doctor might want you seen by a neurologist.
