Get Rid of Pregnancy Headaches

As if the swollen ankles aren't enough, now you're getting pregnancy headaches, and your doc says "no ibuprofen." Try cranking up the air conditioning and closing your eyes for 20 minutes. Relaxing in a cool, dark place will drop your body temperature and calm your frazzled nerves, hopefully making that headache disappear. We don't have to tell you twice to head somewhere nice and cool to take a nap, do we?

A nice back and neck massage is always nice but they come at such inconvient times in which there is no one to give you that good ol' massage. The cool towel on the head seems to work okay but I prefer to just get massaged and then lay down in a cool dark room :).
