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!!!

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I did what you're doing for my pg migraines. 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.
