8 weeks pregnant with the worst headache...
-
I have always had headaches that come and go. I am 8 weeks pregnant and I have had this headache, it's been 4 straight days, I don't even know if it's pregnancy-related because, with my 1 kid, I did not get this. It starts at the top of my head and goes all the way to the back of my neck below my skull. I have tried all the home remedies, nothing seems to work. Is it normal to have a headache for this long? When I bend down my head I can feel the nerve run through my head. Any advice?

@jessy I get really bad migraines, that is MUCH worse now that I'm pregnant. My doctor says it's somewhat normal. (but I also have a history of migraines)
My doctor suggested that I drink extra water, sometimes dehydration can make headaches worse. and get a really good night's sleep.
If it keeps going, head to the ER. They'll be able to give you something that won't harm the baby and will make you feel much better.
I hope this helps a bit!
