Have you spoken to midwife about it?? Have they checked for pre eclampsia? I used 4head sticks and paracetamol. Dark room if you can. Lots of water. Sorry as migraines are just the worst 😭

I used to get really bad ones, I did get preeclampsia so I would be careful. I drank full fat Coke and ate salty foods, seemed to help and also stand in a hot bath with feet submerged. Hope you feel better x

I recommend cool patches for your forehead and specifically the Boots ones

I had them so bad the whole way through my pregnancy. Nothing helped except going to sleep. Mine would start with my vision going blurry and then I would get pins and needles down one side of my face and arms.

I hope you find something!

Try th me 4head, a cold cap (from Amazon) I’m not sure but can you have acupuncture whilst pregnant? And a massage (pregnancy safe ones) I suffer with them terribly but not during pregnancy which was weird!

Ive suffered with them for years now . Id say get a damp cloth rather put it in the freezer for abit or make sure its cold . Put it on your forehead and lay down in a dark room and sleep it off . Paracetamol & iprofen have never helped with mine but they might help ease it for you . You can also by migrane relief strips and its got a blue jel on it and you put that on your forehead and it helps relieve it .

I suffered bad with them and I ended up having gestational diabetes. So maybe get your sugar levels checked as well x

Scheduled c-section

Evening everyone! I’m really considering a scheduled section
I don’t want any criticism, how ‘labour is natural’ etc.
I had an emergency c section in July 2021. My waters broke at 12am and 19 hours later they delivered my son, I know labour is hard, especially your first, but what I endured in them 19 hours was SO scary, I was having panic attacks in the birthing pool from the pain, NOTHING worked (codeine, g&a, pethidine) it was so scary, me and my baby got so poorly because it was left too long. It was genuinely such a traumatic birth, once I got that needle in my back ready for my section, it was the best thing ever
I know recovery is difficult, but I’d like to go in, have my baby and go home, as I have a second one at home, not being exhausted from labour
What is everyone’s experience? Especially for mums who have kids at home? Not gonna lie the only thing putting me off is the social pressure 🤣 thanks :)

Packing for Induction

What would you suggest to pack more of or extra for an induction? This is my first and I currently have my bag packed for a spontaneous birth but induction is looking more likely. Thanks in advance!

C section

How soon did you go for a walk after having a c section? It’s been 2 weeks and I went for about a 15 min walk and now my scar is really hurting.

Birth partner

I never see section birth partner is probably very different from a natural birth, birth partner.
Are there any key things that I need my birth partner to know or to do to be able to support me through a gentle c section?

88th Percentile

Hi just needed a bit of advice. Not sure what to do or if I’m panicking for nothing.

I’m just over 33weeks and have started growth scans due to my long term condition. During this scan I was told that my baby is measuring at the 88th percentile? When I’ve been measured by the tape all this time it’s shown to be 50th percentile (I know it’s not accurate).

Anyway the doc said that if it reaches 90th percentile then will be looking to see if I have GD? But when I had my glucose tolerance test at 25weeks it was fine.

I know I’m just hormonal but feeling so guilty and can’t stop crying. I’ve had a rough pregnancy sickness and foodwise and haven’t had that much to eat. The only thing I’ve been able to handle is fruit, ice lollies and coffee frappes (without the cream). Did I induce this?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Gender reveal blood tests

Has anyone tried the blood tests you can do to see if your having a boy or girl as early as 8weeks? Just wondering how accurate it is 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m too impatient to wait😅
