Just one wrapped in a washcloth for each spot it hurts. when i get a tension headache i just put one on my forehead and one at the base of my neck, lay down in a dark quiet room, and its usually gone within the hour. For the nausea/indigestion: avoid foods and smell you find unapealing. Also try to avoid acidic foods and drinks, they will only increase the stomach acid builiding up already. Tums are safe, and i have found drinking milk helpful. and if you feel like you need to belch, feel free, but go to the bathroom just in case its not burping that happens...

Tonight is a good night but usually im dealing with migraines. I refuse to take any meds so i wet a washcloth with cold water and lie in the bed (no lights). Place the washcloth on your forehead and over your eyes. It helps me.. Hope it works for you.

To help you sleep take 1-2 Benadryl before bed or get Tylenol PM and take 1-2 before bed. The PM part is nothing but benadryl (diphenhydramine) but all packaged together. If it doesn't get better your MD can prescribe Fioricet for migraines and Ambien to help you sleep - both are ok in pregnancy. You can take Tylenol Extra Strength – 1 or 2 tablets every 6 hours.

Sounds like you have heartburn, I lived on Tums during both pregnancies! Another idea is to prop your head up so you're not laying flat. I was such an uncomfortable wreck I had 2 pillows beneath my head, one beneath my knees & one between my knees. I understand the discomfort all too well!!

You can lay down and elevate your legs. you can take a warm bath. make sure that you are in a dark quiet area. If you are having a really hard time your doctor can prescribe you a pain killer for your headaches. As for your stress the best thing I have learned is to talk to someone about it. It really helps.
