I had a rough patch with them for about three weeks also at the beginning of the second tri, but then had none all the way through until 15 weeks PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-migraine#post-1122547 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 21:25:32 +0000 sarac 1122547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. My frequent headaches totally went away in pregnancy, except for a 2 week stretch around 17 weeks where they came back, and badly. All I can say is that they didn't last long for me. My hormones changed again and they got better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-migraine#post-1122424 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 19:54:59 +0000 californiadreams 1122424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had them a lot in my second trimester, so i totally sympathize :( in addition to all the remedies you named, i also liked taking a long, relaxing hot shower. and like others have said, lay down in a dark room. stay off any "screens" like laptop, iphone, tv, etc.</p> <p>Also, i think i got them less frequently after my second tri partly because i realized that i was just much more sensitive to triggers. I was pregnant in the summer and so being out the sun and not drinking enough water was a trigger, but much faster than when i am not pregnant. So just think what happens to trigger a migraine when you are not pregnant and multiply the sensitivity to it three-fold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-migraine#post-1122415 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 19:49:56 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1122415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: well I get nauseous with a migraine and so I take it and it helps!! Zofran/phenefren whatever you use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-migraine#post-1122413 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 19:49:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 1122413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you continue to get the migraines, acupuncture worked absolute wonders for me. I was getting migraines a couple of times a week early in my pregnancy. Several acupuncture sessions later and I have only had a handful of headaches at all. Something to consider if they continue. I wish I had done it years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-migraine#post-1122394 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 19:36:38 +0000 LovelyPlum 1122394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, everyone :) I made it through the end of the day and am now crashing at home with my typical post-migraine exhaustion, even after the caffeine. I now just have a headache, and I'm hoping a good night's sleep will make it go away. Hoping it's over in the morning.</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: Zofran for a migraine? Not heard of that. Is it supposed to work?</p> <p>@MrsKoala: I've not done a Benadryl, but I think I"m going to try that at bedtime tonight. I would be too nervous that I would get drowsy during the day. I'm glad that yours have stopped though!</p> <p>@emg86: thank you! I'll keep in mind the chiropractor or massage. They might be a good idea anyways to ward this off in the future.</p> <p>@Pirouette: thanks! Hoping that this is a short-lived problem as well. Coke didn't sound good to me this afternoon, but once I finally sucked it up and got some, it really did help. It got me through class, at the least.</p> <p>@mrsjyw: @Sugar.Biscuit: @evansjamie: thanks ladies. I seriously missed Motrin today. This isn't spectacularly fun, I have to admit. Hoping that I can kick the lingering ache tonight.</p> <p>@cmbknyc: thank you times a million!!! It is the craziest thing ever, but I am so excited :) :) Hope you are well :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-migraine#post-1122048 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 15:29:29 +0000 MrsKoala 1122048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry! I had one every day and a couple twice a day at around 6 weeks. Then the migraines stopped. Have you tried taking one benadryl along with the Tylenol? That's what my doctor recommended before I had to get a prescription for Fioricet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-migraine#post-1122016 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 15:16:14 +0000 avivoca 1122016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately, sleep/caffiene/darkness is the only thing that helped me. No matter what, when I got a migraine, it took a full 24 hours to feel like myself again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-migraine#post-1122011 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 15:11:45 +0000 cmbknyc 1122011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:sad: I get migraines from time to time, it must be even worse pregnant! I don't have anything to add to what you've already done but I did want to say 12w5d ahhhhhhhh!!!!!! So so happy that you're at this point :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-migraine#post-1121984 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 15:00:46 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 1121984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your already doing what works for me. I suffered from a ton of migraines in the beginning of my second trimester. Dr. Gave me an RX for it but it was a class C &amp; I didn't think it was worth the risk. Even if it was a small risk. Also going to the chiropractor has helped a ton! Good luck hon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-migraine#post-1121950 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:50:40 +0000 Pirouette 1121950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to say, the only thing that has helped me with migraines during pregnancy is a little caffeine! darkness, not moving around, lots of water and tylenol are somewhat helpful, but not really enough to get rid of it. but i found that once i had a little caffeine, they became more manageable.</p> <p>Everyone is different, but I just want to tell you that I had the majority of my pregnancy migraines around the time you're at now...i haven't had one since around 16 weeks, so hopefully this is a short lived problem for you :) (and i usually get a few a year as well). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-migraine#post-1121944 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:49:39 +0000 emg86 1121944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dark room, Tylenol, peppermint oil around the temples...if it was really bad I'd go to the chiropractor for an adjustment which always helped a lot or get a prenatal massage. I hope you feel better soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-migraine#post-1121867 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:18:32 +0000 mrsjyw 1121867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh im so so sorry. i totally feel your pain. ice pack/dark room/sleep was the only pregnancy friendly cure that ever worked for me...(and even now as i bf....) death to the migraine!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-migraine#post-1121865 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:16:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1121865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! feel better! Can you take a zofran to take the edge off? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-migraine#post-1121861 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:15:05 +0000 LovelyPlum 1121861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have experience with migraines during pregnancy? I typically get a few a year, but this is my first one during pregnancy (I'm 12w5d). </p> <p>I took some extra strength Tylenol and am about to go get some caffeine. I've also had a ton of water today, and I've turned off the lights in my office. Unfortunately, I can't go home for another three hours, at which point I plan on laying down with a cold washcloth.</p> <p>Anything else I can try? </p>
