To prevent or relieve mild headaches during pregnancy without taking medication

To prevent or relieve mild headaches during pregnancy without taking medication, do the following:

•Cool Compress. Lie down and place a cool compress on your head.
•Avoid headache triggers. If certain foods or odors seem to have triggered your migraines in the past, avoid them. A headache diary might help you identify triggers.
•Include physical activity in your daily routine. Try a daily walk or other moderate aerobic exercise.
•Manage stress. Find healthy ways to cope with the stressors, such as delegating tasks on your to-do list.
•Practice relaxation techniques. Try deep breathing, yoga, massage and visualization.
•Eat regularly. Eating regularly scheduled meals and maintaining a healthy diet might help prevent headaches. Also, drink plenty of fluids.
•Follow a regular sleep schedule. Sleep deprivation might contribute to headaches during pregnancy.
•Consider biofeedback. With this mind-body technique, you learn to control certain bodily functions — such as muscle tension, heart rate and blood pressure — to prevent headaches or reduce headache pain.
