Re: Pregnant With Migraines
Sierra,
while I was pregnant with my second child, I had terrible migraines, almost the whole time. I was also prescribed t-3's and was assured that the codeine was fine. My daughter was born one day before her due date and she is a perfectly healthy three year old now! I suppose there is always some level of risk no matter what you put into your body when you're pregnant, you just have to decide what you're comfortable with. Also consider the stress you put on your baby while you are suffering during the migraine. Just do what you feel is right for you and your child. Consider all the information and make the best choice you can.

I hope you have a safe and pain free pregnancy! Kelly

Different T3
Hey,

i think there are two kinds of t3, with or without codine. Also, ask your doctor about super strength motrin. It stops mine from becoming too bad.
