just after some advice.13+5
I’ve worked for my company for 4 years and struggling at the moment due to daily migraine attacks- they are unpredictable sometimes occurring during the night and/or during the day.
i feel physically drained.
I’ve been off work for 2 days already and been to see my GP who prescribed my usual migraine medication but only for a few days which hasn’t helped anyways.
with my first pregnancy I suffered these same migraines lasting till around 22 weeks however wasn’t working at the time.
im worried about work sacking me if I have anymore time off work or have long term sickness as I don’t know when these are going to give in.
i work in a stressful job and have to be on the ball as deal with adult/children safeguarding aswell as seeing clients throughout the day.
any advice please I’m really struggling

Are the migraines triggered by being pregnant? If they are then you are off with a pregnancy related illness and that can't be held against you.

i usually get migraines maybe once/twice per month not pregnant but this is on another level.
have never been off work with migraines in past

Definitely hormone related. Also make sure you're well hydrated - your body has 50% more blood volume when pregnant
