Questions & Answers

It might be hormonal. I had the same horrible headaches every time I took IVF drugs. My left and right sides of my brain felt out of sync, my vision felt blurred (overlapping images of left and right) and overstimulated. I would feel full and nauseous. Don't know if that's a migraine or not. They would last for three horrible days and then get better. Not much seemed to help. I just would lie low and wait for my body to get used to the hormones. Hope this passes. If it doesn't, make sure you see what your doc can do for you.

There is a leaflet about Migraine and Pregnancy pdf available online (NHS). It discusses how migraines are affected by pregnancy and what drug/ non-drug treatments might help. It might be worth paying attention to diet as there might be a trigger food. You probably know it is better to eat little and often while pregnant.

During my last pregnancy I had to take hydrocodone/acetaminophen when pregnant if the migraine persisted. If it has lasted this long, i would recommend going in though. I found fluids through an IV to get properly hydrated helped some, and they can recommend other medicines that are safe for the baby

Hi there, sorry to hear about your migraine. I used to get a lot in my last pregnancy and while growing up. Growing up I found sitting in the bottom of the shower letting the water run over my head helped. I didn't have the water too warm. In my last pregnancy I saw a chiropractor as I was getting migraines and it was related to tension in my neck. Hope you get some relief soon.
