3rd Trimester

headaches

Anyone else get really bad headaches in 3rd tri ?  I used to have bad migraines and am on day 2 of one now...  My blood pressure has always been low, so I wasn't concerned about pre-e, but am reconsidering that now...  Will call Dr.  just curious if anyone else has gone through these?

  • I get them and the nurse told me it's ok to take an extra strength Tylenol. I haven't done it because it usually helps if I just lie down or sometimes if I walk around. I'd rather not take anything if I can help it. Also, I have a few of the symptoms of pre-e but have not been diagnosed with it because when I lie down (again) my blood pressure goes back down but you should definitely call your doctor about it.

  • I get migranes when I am not pregnant. I went through about half my pregnancy without one but one day I felt like someone hit me over the head with a hammer! I called my doctor and they called me in Fuiorcet (say it like fir-i-set) it is higher doses of tylenol and caffine. it was the safest thing to take in pregnancy. and it really works! and you would think that the caffine would pep you up a bit but the combination of the two together, it knocks me OUT! it takes away the head ache and i go to sleep. I don't like taking medication while pregnant but this is better than the headache and it is just tylenol and caffine. it isn't a narcotic.
