Headaches and migraines normal ?

Question

I was a migraine sufferer before I got pregnant. I have a proscription Med that I usually take for it. Since I got pregnant, I can’t take it anymore. People told me that migraines and headaches go away in pregnancy. They lied. Lol
Is anyone suffering from headaches or migraines? What do you do for it that won’t harm baby? My headaches last for at least 3 days. I can deal with them without medicine but the migraines really kid my butt.

Answer

I suffer from them as well. I get a swollen vessel in the exact same spot on my scalp every time. I massage it with my hand really hard and took extra strength Tylenol which didn’t touch the pain but did help with nausea/vomiting. I got so desperate I tried benedryl was so skeptical but it really helped a lot. Mainly to sleep. Every time I slept it would be a small window of relief. Mine last 2 days and then the 3rd day it’s just a normal headache but I still can’t get out of bed until after the 3rd day. I’m sure your doc can give you a shot if nothing else works. Def give benedryl a chance tho. Hope things get better for you your not alone ❤️❤️

Answer

This happened to me with my second pregnancy. My dr said to call and they can give me a shot of Demerol in the office when I get a migraine. One of my friends is a nurse practitioner and said Benadryl is safe to take for chronic headaches too - never tried it but something with the antihistamines alleviates headache pain.
