1st Trimester

ER doc said Zomig was okay (for the migraine ladies)

I had to go to the ER yesterday because my migraine (the one I posted about a day or two ago) had gotten SO bad I just couldn't take it. My blood pressure and pulse were through the roof, I set off the machine into crazy beeping. I waited three HOURS for a doctor (the nurses wouldn't give medicine to a PG lady), and when he finally came in he asked, "So, why didn't you take a Zomig/Imitrex, etc?" I answered because the OB said not to... and he said they were category C so it was not deemed "good" but not horrible either.?

I was given a lovely drug cocktail of toradol, compazine, and benedryl... and given the okay to take Imitrex if it gets that bad again. He said me having raised blood pressure and pulse was DEFINITELY bad for the baby, so it was better to take a drug that was, in all?likelihood, not going to hurt anything.?

I'm not saying take migraine drugs willy nilly, but you might want to talk to your doctor about if it will actually hurt anything if you are suffering badly. ?

  • I'm going to start getting weekly massages, but I don't want to go to a chiro... it seems like everybody who goes can never stop going, and they have all these crazy back problems now. And I really don't trust somebody cracking my bones while I'm pg... if massages aren't even considered totally safe!

  • During the first trimester chiropractic therapy is safer than massage therapy.

    Any reputable spa won't give a massage to someone in their first tri.  Not sure why, but my doc said to wait until 2nd tri and get the prenatal massage.

  • Dang it! Guess I will wait on massages until the 2nd tri. Why are massages bad? I don't see how hard touching could hurt anything.?
  • Massing the muscles releases chemicals and toxins that were locked into the muscles.  Those toxins are then running through your system. That is the reason they always tell you to drink lots of water after having a massage - to help flush the toxins out of your system. So I guess doctors would be worried about them effecting the development of the baby during those first critical months.

    First off, chiro's don't crack your bones. They adjust your spine to clear interference to your nervous system. Interference is probably causing your migraines. I would seek out a chiropractor before I started putting ANY drugs into my body for a migraine especially if I were pregnant.
