Pregnancy with DC1 went smoothly. But with DC2 I got cluster headaches. Visibly lopsided face by 4 months and near daily agonising pain by 6 months. Never had them before and went away with the birth.
I know pregnancies can make headache sufferers worse, but I don't get headaches normally. Everything I've found online suggests that the two are totally unrelated, although they clearly are in my case.
I'd like another DC and think I could put up with the pain for 9 months. But if it's the kind of thing that might go on past the birth or be in some way worse, I don't know that I'm prepared to take the risk. It's honestly the worse pain I've ever felt.
I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has suffered from cluster headaches but only during pregnancy? And if so how did it turn out?
