Yes!! I had one that’s just finished. 22+6 atm but it Lasted 4 days, midwife advised I try co-codamol and see the GP. Paracetamol and the 4head stick weren’t touching it. In the end I just put up with it because I didn’t fancy co-codamol. It’s quite common but make sure you’re drinking plenty of water and resting. Hope it gets better soon xxx

I get hormonal triggered migraines and its been a nightmare not being able to take my medication during pregnancy. Drink plenty of water. You can buy a gel freezer head compression mask on amazon that sometimes helps. Iced coffee, but watch the caffeine. My go to thing is salty carbs. Really helps me, especially himalayan salt which is supposed to be good for migraines. Along with paracetamol, those have been helping me through. Hope you feel better soon x

Thanks so much girls, as much as I hate you’re all suffering too it’s comforting to know I’m not the only one! It’s hard not to worry isn’t it😩 I’ll just try ride it out for now with a cold compress and plenty of fluids and hope it soon subsided🤞🏽xx

I suffered with them weeks 10-20… i got prescribed some co-codamol which helped and got myself a headache hat (like a giant eye mask) from amazon that i put in the freezer, definitely recommend! Sometimes a small cup of tea would help. Pharmacist also told me that aspirin works as a preventative for migraines and since i’ve been taking 150mg of that a day they’ve disappeared! Xx

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
