Migraines

Does anyone eles suffering with migraines? I keep getting them randomly, I'm almost 24 weeks, so I'm very limited with what I can have to help ease them. They make me so ill, and I've had enough of waking up with a pouding head and feeling sick. I'm just taking paracetamol and using an ice pack. If anyone has any other recommendations, I would massively appreciate it. Thanks

I am 25 week and I’m also getting frequent headaches - thankfully I don’t think they are migraines, have you spoken to your midwife?

Hi, I’ve been suffering from migraines since about 12 weeks and the doctors ended up giving me a migraine prevention plan!
I had to take a 75mg aspirin and an anti sickness every morning and then an anti sickness and 2 paracetamols every night, I done that for 2 week straight and honestly made such a difference! I now just take the anti sickness! I would also ask to get iron levels checked as that can be a cause for migraines I got told, I ended up needed iron tablets aswell! I was a walking pharmacy at one point 😂 xx

Ooooo just on the iron point, if taking supplements make sure you are getting enough fibre in your diet! I need to up mine, currently struggling to 💩 🥴

I’m 23 weeks and have had migraines constantly on and off since 6 weeks. I get them probably 10+ times a day. The only I can take is paracetamol and trying to stay well hydrated

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Reduced movements

26 weeks and haven’t really felt little baby all day, she’s usually super active & I have a posterior placenta so I feel her all the time usually. I did feel her ever so briefly earlier right down into my pelvis. I was at maternity triage the other night with tummy cramps but everything was fine and so was baby. What should I do? I don’t want to feel like a nuisance?
