I've had migraines for years and take sumatriptan for it that always works for me but since getting pregnant I don't wanna take it as it's not recommended. Migraines are worse then EVER with this pregnancy and they last for 1-3 days and it makes it even hard to look after my little 9 month old. I've tried paracetamol, codeine, caffeine, magnesium every day, Gatorade, eating frequently and keeping hydrated. I'm desperate for a solution... as anyone experienced this in pregnancy and what helped you?

Fyi I am 17 weeks pregnant.

My consultant said he was happy I continued to take those meds. I use the nasal spray. No evidence of any side effects he said. Check with your GP not MW op.

I am meeting with my midwife and I'll see what they can do for me and possibly refer me somewhere... I had to take a triptan today as it was unbearable and heatwave doesn't make it much better 🙄 I hope yours gets better by 3rd trimester 🙏🏻
