PNV causing migraines???

mj89

I've been taking the same PNV since I got my surprise BFP at 5 weeks. 2 weeks ago I got a migraine, took some Tylenol which didn't help, and went to bed early. After a few days I still had the headache and nothing was helping so I called my OB. The nurse told me it could be a sinus headache and to take Tylenol Sinus, Sudafed, or Benadryl. I got Sudafed Sinus Headache, took it for a few days and the headache was still there. It got so bad at one point that I actually got sick. I haven't had any m/s since week 8 and this was the first time I actually vomitted. Wednesday I woke up and the headache wasn't nearly as bad as it had been, I could take Tylenol and it actually helped for a few hours. Woke up Thursday and no headache at all!! I was so happy! It was finally over after 10 horrible days!

I have a small calendar hanging in my bathroom and every night when I take my PNV I put a check mark on that day. Thursday I realized that I had forgotten to take my PNV Tuesday night and Wednesday night. I decided to not take it Thursday to see if I would wake up pain free again. No headache Friday. We went out Friday night, got home late and I forgot to take it again. No headache yesterday. I thought about it last night and dicided to take one of the sample PNVs my OB had given me at my first appointment. I get up this morning and yep, another migraine. I was fine taking the PNVs for the 7 weeks before this, WTF is going on now???

I'm calling my OB first thing in the morning. I know the baby needs all the good stuff in PNVs, but is there something else I can take that wont give me the migraines? Anyone else go through this, or know someone who did have any advice? TIA

No clue about your PNV causing the migraines but migraines are very common during PG. I have a couple a week and I know it is not related to my PNV(Target Up and Up brand). I had been taking my PNV the entire time we were TTC(10months).

Do call your OB and talk to her though.

wow that would be interesting if it is.  I get terrible migraines, but mine are usually sparked by stress or nothing at all.  I know with my daughter I had them terribly during pregnancy and after..I am sorry your going through this.  If it is the culprit (although I don't know how) than I hope that you get some relief!!  I also get them to the point of laying on the bathroom floor vomitting.

My dr actually took me off pnv for this reason. I can GUARANTEE a headache within 8 hours of taking them. He switched me to Flintstones chewables, one in the morning, one at night. It seems to be better.
