migraines during pregnancy

[chillybean]

agh. this happened to me during my second pregnancy. I have the start of a migraine. All I can see in front of me are fluttery triangles. Then later the headache will come. Hope its not too severe. Please pray for me. At least I don't have anywhere to go today. God is still good. Anyone else get this?

I had some fluttery triangles a few weeks ago. It didn't turn into a full blow migrane, which I was very glad about! I don't get them very often, but when I do they really knock me over!

thanks olafias. My family prayed for me this morning and I never got the headache! Praise God! And thanks to the ladies here who prayed for me too.

I tended to get hormonally triggered migraines at the beginning of each of my pregnancies. Getting a chiropractic adjustment helped, even though it was hormonal.

You can also take Wild Yam capsules (which is natural progesterone) and that will help with the hormone levels and reduce the migraines. It also helps prevent miscarriage, and reduces pregnany nausea.

Lemon tea works for me, very relaxing.

If it gets really bad I have to go to the ER for a shot of benedryl...my headaches are allergy related.

i have had migraines since I was in second grade and I never saw triangles or fuzzies...til I was pregnant. I got the worst migraines of my life when I was pregnant, but I always knew when I needed to get home and get in bed because I saw the fuzzies and that meant that a really bad one was headed my direction. The doctor finally, around month 7, prescribed me midrin and it worked wonders during my pregnancy and has continued to even afterward.

I get them, too. I drink lots of water and try to sleep through it because the pain medicine just won't work for me.

drink lots of water and discuss with your midwife/OB your options.

I did this and the action we are takeing is tylenol/sudafed/caffinee
