Get : Get your blood pressure checked. If it is normal you may benefit from some caffeine or caffeine containing headache medication. Many women experience headaches in early pregnancy associated with vasodilation from the Progesterone as well as caffeine withdrawal. Moderate amounts of caffeine (1-2 cups of coffee or tea) is safe in pregnancy. Generally tylenol (acetaminophen) is the recommended pain reliever in pregnancy. How far along are you? If you are in the third trimester you should get checked right away.

Headache: You need to be seen; you want to make sure it's not your blood pressure or something called pre-eclampsia.
