For all those mommies and mommies 2 be...Did you suffer with period-like-cramps and headaches?

Was there anything that helped???

Re: Headaches

I had monster headaches in my second trimester...just try to drink alot of water and if it gets unbearable take the tylenol. Feel better!

Re: Headaches

I didn't suffer from period like cramps, but I spotted from weeks 6-8, which was nerve racking, but turned out to be nothing.

As far as headaches, I get them daily. Most of the times, I do nothing and literally try and forget about them. But often I get the bad ones, which I must reach for the Tylenol. Unfortunately for me, the Tylenol does nothing. I've gone to bed with a headache and woken up with one. I think its just the hormones circulating through out your body.

Just don't take anything other than Tylenol for them...

Re: Headaches

I too had horrible headaches in the 2nd trimester. So bad that my ob sent me to get my eyes checked to see if my prescription had changed. I tried my hardest not to take tylenol but sometimes I simply couldnt avoid it. I also put cool rags on my forhead and my eyes while I was trying to fall asleep. If anything it helped me to focus on something else other than the pain in my head.
