My first two trimesters were spent on the couch (I quit work ) doing nothing because everything gave me a migraine, and I had to take plenty of meds. I hated it, but I had no choice. Its not a pain you can just suffer through or live with. I went to the er literally every other weekend for heavy drugs like morphine. I had such bad mommy guilt!</p> <p>My lo is turning one today and she is healthy as can be. Thank goodness the meds didn't effect her, and I strongly believe that decreasing my pain level by taking meds made her life better too. It can't be healthy to have a mommy who's always stressed and in pain all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/taking-meds-while-pregnant#post-230025 Sun, 22 Jul 2012 05:10:03 +0000 Beyond2 230025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a horrendous headache. I fought it all day yesterday and finally broke down and took Tylenol at 10:00 last night. My headache got better until around 2 am. I fought it some more and finally couldn't take it and took more Tylenol at 5:30 this morning. I HATE taking medicine while pregnant and can count the number of times I have on one hand. Basically I'm just looking for some reassurance that 2 doses of meds in 12 hours isn't the end of the world... my crazy hormonal self is all worried :-/ </p>
