Has anyone had really bad migraines while pregnant? If so please give advice on how to handle it

Question

Answer

Always try to rest and drink water first then try tylenol( never worked for me, but it's all we can take)

If  those don't work talk to your ob. And any visual changes go to the er, it may be a dehydration issue or complication.

Ugh when mine happened I felt like I was having a stroke

Answer

I take Tylenol and drink a red gatorade! The electrolytes and magnesium really help. Sometimes it isn't enough and it's just a waiting game from that point on... 😕 However most of the time the gatorade is a life saver!

Answer

My sister did. That is the only time she got sick.

Answer

Lots of water, peppermint oil on your temples or wherever else the pain is, epsom salt baths, a peaceful walk or nap, a healthy snack, a magnesium capsule/tablet, or a hot foot soak with something frozen on your neck/where the pain is.

Answer

My dr actually had me get injections of botox, 25 injections in my head, neck and shoulder area. It has help tremendously with my pain. Since my husband and I are TTC this has been my option to get rid of them so that I'm not potentially risking harm by taking over the counter medicine before we have a healthy pregnancy.
