Cramps and migraines

Hey,

I'm 4 weeks 3 days. This will be my first.

For days Ive had mild cramping but the last two days the cramping pain has increased.
It feels like really strong period pains, as though I'm going to come on.
It comes and goes throughout the day.

Anyone else experienced this?

I thought that maybe my body was gearing to miscarry, but then my boob pain has increased from 0 to pretty tender overnight and last night I had the worst migraine.

It woke me up at 3am.

I suffer badly with menstrual migraines, so I expected this would likely happen anyway.

What's people coping mechanisms for migraines?
There's not much we're allowed to to take.
I've been waiting on botox injections but I dare say they won't give me them now.

I'm 4+4 too 😊

I've been having cramps and also suffer with headaches anyways. The cramps have woke me up two nights in the last week. My boobs are tender and I feel a bit achy too

Im overly anxious as had a miscarriage in December but from what I read then, cramping is normal. Mine are like period pain and I'm not needing to take anything for it. When I did miscarry the cramps became very intense.

I think cramping is really normal! I had period type cramps before my bfp and the week or 2 after, they were worse than any other period cramps I’d had before xx

Period like cramps are so normal, I was extremely worried in the early days with my cramping as I thought it wasn't normal, but now I'm 15 weeks and baby is healthy! Not to worry unless you experience severe pain or bleeding! xx

Thankfully Ive had no spotting or anything, just cramping.
I feel so nervous.

I think until I've had the first scan, I don't feel like i can get fully excited.
