Okay so I've been having migraines for the last 6-7 years. Fortunate enough to only get them 2-3 times a year, but when I do get them they are awful.
I get the flashy lights aura, numbness down one side of my body and on my face/lips, super sensitive to light and intense pain behind my right eye especially but also elsewhere in my head.
Anway, I came down with a migraine at 20 weeks pregnant, all I could take was paracetamol which did sod all, eventually ended up in A+E for 14 hrs as it went on for so long and I became dehydrated from vomiting every 30-45 mins.
So I've been really worried about getting another migraine before baby arrives due to not being able to take strong painkillers.
Now 40 weeks pregnant and I started getting the aura (always first symptom for me) last week, and was furiously googling how to reduce the pain before it fully took over.
Thats when I read that having an orgasm can help!
I shit you not, within 30 seconds of having started I could feel the pressure in my head reducing, and once I'd finished it had completely gone!!
I took it easy for the rest of the incase it came back but it didnt.
It was 100% a migraine and I 100% believe masturbating stopped it in its tracks.
Just felt the need to put this out there, incase there is anyone else who this might work for 😅
Also, I was really hoping it would kick off labour, no such luck 🙈
