Just curious what people have found...
My mother has always gotten migraines but told me that she had '8 months of bliss' when she was pregnant both times (both 1 mth prem). She gets them pretty badly, as do I. On the other hand, I have read that they can become much worse during pregnancy.
I find that mine are mainly hormonal, food allergy or stress-related.
Just wondering what other migraine-sufferers found when they were pregnant?
I am a migraine sufferer and have every regular headaches as well. Since being pregnant, I have only had 2 headaches which weren't very intense at all.
And last pregnancy, I did not get one migraine at all. I hope its the same for you xx
Wow! That is good to hear.
My main concern is that when my get really bad, I won't be able to take anything other than Panadol and I may as well eat a Smartie!
Fingers crossed! Thanks so much.
I am a migrane sufferer- but do not get them whilst i am pregnant and not until AF returns!!!
I usually get migranes at least 4 times a months and it is bliss when i am preggers and i get none!
I have had a couple of headaches, but that is it!!!
It was my concern as well before i got preggers as well. There is always a/puncture to help with migranes which is safe to use when pg!
Good luck

I used to see a migraine/headach specialist in melb and he told me not to worry. He said there are medications he can prescribe during pregnancy. so dont worry too much :)
I get occasional migranes - only one or two a year but when preggers the first time it was one or two a week! my Dr gave me some stronger drugs and they helped. So far with this one i haven't had any fingerscrossed !!!
i had a 4 day headache last month and ended up in hospy cos it sent my BP up. but it wasnt a migraine. Unpregnant i get migraines every 6-8 weeks.
doc said i can take 2 panadeine every 4 hrs and panadeine forte during the night. ... but with the minor headaches i have had, about one a week, i havent done that.
i just cant bring myself to take that much medication with a baby on board. I have had one panadeine at the beinning of a headache ( i just knew it was going to be a biggun') but getting in early with the panadeine and then resting in a cool dark room and drinking lots of water all helped to squash that one before it got serious.
