I have a bad headache, almost a migraine. I am 8 weeks pregnant. What can I take to relieve my headache?

During pregnancy, the number one choice for relieving headache pain is Tylenol (500mg, 2 tablets every 4 hours). Anti-inflammatories like Advil, Motrin, and Aleve are not recommended after the 24th week of pregnancy. It is best to use them for a very short period during the first and second trimester (48 hours). Keeping a journal to identify triggers for your headaches, such as certain foods or stressful situations, can help prevent them in the future. I hope this information helps.
