Just try to lie down in a quiet, dark room for some time. Do consult your gynac if the pain is too severe.

Wait till the third trimester, headaches are replaced by back pain! Definitely talk to your doc before taking any pain relievers.

When I was at my parents' place, my mom gave me a gentle head massage which really helped relieve the tension. Take care.

My MIL used to make me a light ginger tea for my headaches, which helped thoda. But do check with your doctor before taking any tablets.
