Anyone get migraine auras? And I think I dropped!

Question

Suffering like a mofo here. Multiple ones a day, no it’s not pre eclampsia. I suffer regardless from migraines just auras are debilitating in pregnancy for me (hormone related)
I’m 34w1d, pretty sure baby dropped too... 
First pick is 32 weeks

This is this morning...

I’m ready to fit in a tub and be comfortable again! 😬

Answer

I get migraines with aura, not just during pregnancy. It’s tough if pregnancy hormones are causing it, bc you can’t do anything about that! My triggers were nitrites in bacon (seriously got one every time I ate bacon before i switched to incited bacon), the sun without sunglasses, and stress/lack of sleep. Once I tried to avoid triggers I stopped getting them as frequently. I’d talk to you doctor after having the baby before you go on hormonal birth control bc migraines w/ aura put you at increased risk for stroke. I can’t take bc, and I don’t smoke, but if I did that’d be bad. Good luck! It’s rough bc you just can’t take much when you’re pregnant.

Answer

A tad, yes! Mine does that though. It looks really low one day, then suddenly bit. You're  so tiny, so it's a little harder to tell.

Answer

I get epilepsy auras, my triggers seem to be worse during pregnancy. Sleep deprivation, fluorescent lighting, dehydration are major ones.

Answer

I started having migraines w auras at 32 weeks... I get them every once in a while now but one week I got 3 back to back. My doctor didn’t seem concerned since my BP was normal and I had migraines before I was pregnant. It’s just very annoying because you can’t do anything when you can’t see so it puts me out for the whole day! Hope yours get better.
