Migrane in pregnancy

[JupiterJoy]

With my 1st I had sporadic migranes throughout the my pregnancy, more often in first trimester.
I'm pregnant with my 2nd child, approx 5-6 at a guess, and I feel my 1st pregnancy migrane coming on.
On top of my chronic health problems, it's sp debilitating. My pain killers for my spinal injuries are morphine and fentanyl, which don't touch my migraines at all. And with opiate meds they can give killer opiate headaches, so I hope it's not combining and making them worse.

Anyone get pregnancy migraines?

Yes I got them badly, 2 days a week I was unable to get out of bed.

Only things that helped other than rest and habing poeple care for my older kids were
Ice Packs on my forehead and back of my neck
Anti sickness meds prescribed by my dr
Not eating foods that would trigger them agin such as cheese and chocolate

I do find I get rebound headache from painkillers so I expect those are not helping

yes and i had a tramodol, after days of paracetomal. co codamol and co dyramol, didnt touch it - couldnt function, within 20 mins of tramadol it was gone.

Yep i got them with my 1st toward the end when i was tired. This time i got one at 5 weeks another at 21 and (touch wood) haven't suffered again yet! I do find eating a banana and drinking a pint of water as soon as i feel it coming (odd i know) does dull it abit. A friend told me they can be linked to low potassium levels not sure how true this is. Tiredness and not deinking enough are the triggers for me. Only thing to stop it is sleep.

Paracetemol washed down with full fat coke at the very very first sign and then a really hard neck massage managed to take the edge off them. Mine weren't pregnancy related they were just normal migraines and I couldn't take my usual medicine. Horrible, horrible. You have my sympathy.

I get them and have been really bad this time round, the gp told me the strongest thing I could take was the yellow migralieve, and i heated up one of those wheat pillows and hung it round my neck.

As albertswearengen says catching it at very first sign is the key
