Anyone else's migraines increasing before delivery?

vszapp · April 2014

I just got one yesterday and one again today. I was taking baby aspirin to prevent them but stopped at 36 weeks on my MWs advice. I had been ok those 2 weeks until yesterday. This morning I not only had the visual aura but also numbness and confusion. It sucks! I'm thinking maybe this is a hormonal shift to prep for labor?

Woah-visual aura? numbness and confusion? That sounds a little wonky, you may want to call your provider and let them know---these could be signs on pre-e!

I just went in today and my bp is 100/60. No pre-e for me. Those symptoms are actually common with some forms of migraine. They suck though...

Mine have increased as well. I was taking magnesium for them, but stopped a few weeks ago.

Hope you get some relief soon.

Wow that sounds horrible! No migraines here but I am gettin bad headaches I am pretty bad at drinking water I try and drink 10 a day but if I get any less than 6 I wake up with a bad headache that won't go away until I replenish. It's been that way for a little over a week now no bueno! Especially since little girl is so low so I'm peeing so much more now.

I haven't had any headaches/migraines for months and all of sudden the past two days I've had them again. Bad migraine yesterday and today it feels like a lingering headache. I take Tylenol but it does very little. Glad to know I'm not alone, but I'm also wondering why it's hitting me all of sudden. I plan to ask my doctor about this on Thursday.

I get these too, and I had one that was lasting 5 days. Turned out to be allergy related. Took a clairitin, and finally found some relief. Tylenol wasn't cutting it, my OB even prescribed Vicodin and that did nothing. Worth looking into at least! (I was also ruled out of pre-e).

Mine have increased also. I hadn't had one since January and the. Had one last week. I also get the aura and half my body and face goes numb (has always done this though). It sucks!

I had terrible first tri headaches/migraines. Since Friday I've had a headache on and off all day, every day (BP is fine). Only one got close to migraine territory, thank God!

Migraine sufferer here as well. My MW finally gave me Tylenol with codeine to help. I am almost 40 weeks and had one that last almost a week. Nothing was working. Greatful for the relief. I can't imagine trying to push DD out with a migraine. L&D is aware that I may get one and they said they could give me pain relief to stop it.
