Migraines worsening?
Show your support
With my daughter they got worst and worst. I woke up with one and went to bed with one every single day. Even they day I got induced with my daughter, I had a migraine throughout the whole labor. The nurses even got mad at me because I said I wanted the regular epidural and not the walking epidural because ik I wouldn't be able to walk. They said my labor wouldn't progress fast.....but nurses half the time don't know anything and I went from 5 to 10 cm in an hour....but it was absolutely horrible with the migraines.
Hey, I’ve had migraines since I was a child a few times a week. My whole first trimester they we’re awful I was in and out of hospital with migraines as they were making me so so sick. I actually even went to my neurologist about them because I just didn’t know how I would cope for 9 months. He told me to stop taking paracetamol, which I did as they don’t fucking work anyway & to just detox off of it, he said unfortunately they get a lot worse when you stop migraine meds etc which I did when I fell pregnant & that he was confident they would go during my second trimester. Around 16 weeks they just disappeared and I haven’t had one since, so he was right! (29 weeks now). I do have constant aura now though, but that’s neither here nor there as it doesn’t actually hurt. Unfortunately, I think you just have to tough it out, and go to bed when it happens. It’s shit so so shit, I really feel for you. Hope you feel better soon. xxx
@Jacqueline no. No one’s ever mentioned to try magnesium. Thank you will look into it.
@Lindsey thank you, hope they’ve eased since. This is my worst nightmare took me two weeks to get over the last awful migraine attack which had lasted two weeks to be back in the same position for the last week and a bit. Just feel like I’m bed ridden atm.
@Lucy I've had migraines my whole life so they never will go away. I even have neurologist for them. But luckily with this pregnancy, they haven't been bad at all. Even with them making me stop taking my nightly migraine medication. Every pregnancy is definitely different
Yes!! Did you try magnesium?! I had awful migraines throughout first trimester and my dr said to try magnesium- it really really helped. I literally had one after that 🙏🏻
