Valerie, I also have a problem with headaches. I am 11 weeks pregnant and have headaches probably twice a week. My doctor has approved my use of essential oils to help this. I'm not sure that you are familiar with essential oils or aromatherapy but these can be purchased at most health food stores. I have peppermint oil for headaches and if you just put a little dab on your nose and breathe in the oil your headache will cease almost immediately. You might want to check with your doctor before you try this but it has really worked wonders for me.
