How do I stop Migraines during pregnancy?

How many weeks pregnant are you now? If you are more than 20 weeks pregnant, you should go see your midwife or doctor to have your blood pressure checked – to make sure you’re not developing pre-eclampsia. Headaches are one of the symptoms you can get with pre-eclampsia.

Also, do you have a history of migraines before you fell pregnant? And were you on any medication for it? Have you stopped those medications once you fell preg?

The safest medication is probably Paracetamol/Tylenol (as long as you do not take more then the recommended dosage). Sometimes your doctor might prescribe you codeine as well, but beware, if you take codeine for too long, it may actually make the headache worse!

Do not take ibuprofen or voltarol or aspirin without consent from your doctor.

You should see your doctor for a checkup, plus if the migraine’ affecting you so often, your doctor can give you a sick note for a few days off work.

Take tylenol

Tylonel is the only thing that you can take….and if that doesn’t work, call your doctor and see what they can prescribe you with.

Tell your doctor about you migraines if they are frequent. I had some migraines that lasted 4 or 5 days straight. I would lay down in a dark, silent room with my feet elevated and a cold pack under my neck and it didn’t help. My doctor prescribed me Tylenol with codeine, but I only take it when necessary. Frequent migraines can cause blood vessels to rupture, which is dangerous so make sure you tell your doctor about them.

i have the very same problem and it would go away for a day or two then come back what i did was took paraleif when that didn’t work i had to go to my doctor and she gave me a stronger pain killer and since then i have not had to take anything and have been migraine free for a week now tg
hope u feel better best of luck ….

stay away from food with preservatives, dyes and artificial flavorings and other stuff such as aspartame. No joke, some people complain of horrid headaches yet consume these things which can cause or aggravate them, and worse yet they consume them while pregnant!
Be very careful with labels.. even sulphites are preservatives. This may not completely eradicate the headaches but they can definitely ease or lessen them. And also, stress is a huge factor as well! Try to keep it low, do things that you know to be useful in lowering your stress everyday.
When a part of your body is hurting, it is trying to tell you something. As for the work/time issue, does your work provide a benefit plan that includes long term and short term disability? This may be a time for you to consider using that benefit until you have your migraines under control.
