1st Trimester

migraines

So, I have a non-pg related migraine. my normal way of dealing with this is a triple red eye. (3 shots of espresso in a small cup of coffee... WAY over my comfort level of caffeine) 

Any NON-caffeine remedies?

Re: migraines

  • Ice packs, Tylenol.  Usually I would take Advil, but since you can't take that, I suggest the ice pack, Tylenol and sleep.

  • Tylenol with some of that caffeine.  But if you suffer from migraines normally I'm surprised you don't have any medication.  There are meds OBs will prescribe for migraines if the Tylenol/caffeine combo doesn't work for you.

  • I have a pregnancy safe prescription, but I still try NOT to take it at all if I can avoid it.  For my first pregnancy, I did tea and a quiet nap/cold cloth on the couch.

    Now that I'm pregnant with #2 and have a toddler running around... I might take the darn pill...

    Dear God, Since I couldn't hold my little one in my lap and tell him about you, could you hold him in your lap and tell him about me?

    Yeah, they gave me it, but it isn't work friendly. it tends to knock me out lol - so I will try the tea for at work. and I brought my homemade icepack today and put it in my work freezer :)
