  • I used to take exedrin migraine but not even sure if that is safe during pregnancy so i quit taking it. Tylenol doesn't help me at all.
  • @swartzie I also started getting them since ive been pregnant my dr says the reason is cause when ur pregnant ur arteries r dialated during pregnancy causing more blood flow to the placenta and it causes ur arteries to throb in ur head causing migrains. There aint much to help during pregnancy just pain reliever thats safe in pregnancy and she said caffeine helps a little. Hope this helps.
  • Dang i'm not allowed caffeine with this pregnancy so that doesn't help my migraines.
  • acupunture. it kinda hurts bc u have to do it on the lower part of the back of ur head but when done I feel better

  • I have suffered with them for the past 15 yrs but they seem to come more frequently with my pregnancy. This is my first so I hope its not a habit. I finally broke down and asked my midwife if I could take anything. He perscribed me BUTAL-APAP-325-CAFF TABS. They are working for me thank god but ask ur doctor. I also put cold packs on the back of my neck which helps too. Hope that helos good luck! I feel ur pain!
  • Try a homeopathic product called HeadOn I get it at Walgreens, you rub it on your forehead and it is very cooling. I use it everytime I even feel a slight tinge of a migraine starting & it really helps me. All the best to you I feel your pain.
  • Thanks everyone!!! >:D<
