Migraines During Pregnancy Posted: 12-09-05 15:42pm
I have suffered from migraines since the
age of 11. Has anyone suffered from them
before pregnancy and if you got pregnant
did you have them? My doc told me the
only thing I could take if I was to get
pregnant is tyleno with codeine.
Currently I take a stronger medication
when I feel the headache coming on.
Thanks - any reply would be appreciated.

I know where your coming from since early
on in my life I would get migraines about
the same age as you and now being 19 I
still get them and I was terrified to
think with me being pregnant you dont have
many options of medication you can take...
But luckily! Im 12 weeks pregnant right
now and havent had a migraine since I
found out I was pregnant and so I told my
Dr. This and she said that actually women
who dont normally get migraines and
headaches are more susceptible to getting
them while they are pregnant and those who
regularly get them are actually given a
break!

I suffer from migraines and I have
prescription for it but I dont take them
cause I hate being drowsy, dr okayed me
for advil just not to take them on a
regular basis, so I pop a pill it was
worse during 1st trimester as to where I
dont have them now and im 32 wks. I was
living under my desk at work cause I
wouldnt be able to take the pain and
tylenol doesnt do anything for me advil
help take the edge off ........
I have to agree with roxie I have been
spared two trimesters migraine free and I
can eat chocolate or have a pepsi here and
there its wonderful to finally have a
break. I have been suffering since I was
a kid which was when I was first
diagnosed.......

Thanks for the responses about migraines
and pregnancy. I am 35 yrs old and
wondering if I should try to get pregnant.
I dont know if I am considered high
risk. My husband has 2 boys from a
previous marriage, but I do not have any
children of my own. We had talked about
adoption from guatemala too, the little
girls over there are so cute!! Anyone
have an opinion for me of what to do.
Thank you -this website is great to chat
with everyone!!

Migraines & Lower Back Paians Posted: 01-05-06 19:43pm
Today I have to ssay that I had the worst
migrines ever. I took 2 tylenol's but it
did not seem to help any. I actuall had
to leave work and go home and lay down for
about an hour and half. I made sure it
was dark in the room, I felt a little
better after that, plus I was hungry when
I woke up. The lower pain in my back is
not making it easier. How much longer???
What does someone recommend to ease the
pain of migraines and lower back pains?

How far along are u? Tylenol with
codeine may help you. Good luck.
