Headaches
Posted: 09-26-05 21:28pm

Ok, so i've come to the conclusion that I might possibly be pregnant. I'm very prone to migrane headaches. My nuerologist took me off of the medicine she had me on because of the birth control issue. But has told me that when I feel a headache coming on that I should take something with caffein binders in it like ibuprofin. But i've heard taking those can hurt a baby. Is there anything I can take. Because these headaches tend to come on often.

I would contact the doctor and find out if ur pregnant first, and then should you be, ask him or her what they think you can take for ur headaches.

I'm not pregnant but I have something that may help headaches...I get migraines alot too, but I hate to take pills or medicines because i'm afraid it'll mess with my system...


Try this though...It works good for me...I've found that once I fall asleep I can handle the headaches...

Anyways get some vicks vapor rub or something like it...And put some on your forehead...You don't need alot (that stuff is strong) and it will start to make your head feel real good...And for more comfort...Take a wash cloth and run it in really hot water...And then fold it up long ways and put that on top of the vicks on your forehead....

This way you don't have to take any medicines or anything wierd...Talk to your doctor though before you do it...I'm not sure about vicks vapor rub and pregnancy, but I can't imagine that it would hurt a baby, but you never know it's such a sensitive thing
