  Woke up the other morning at 3.30am with such a bad migraine! Then ran to the toilet to throw up :-( took paracetamol & threw that straight back up, yuk!!! Haven't had 1 since so hoping it was a 1 off. If u get them all the time id go to the dr & see what they say, they may be able to give u something?

  There was a previous posting about headaches. I've researched a bit and had a friend who this method was successful for: magnesium absorbed through the skin. Via bath soaks or a spray from ancient minerals. Check out wellnessmama.com. She has a few articles about magnesium deficiency causing headaches AND mentions something about the body doesn't absorb all you need thru oral supplements. Anywho. Maybe it could help! Sorry!!

  I'm so sorry that you're getting those! That's awful. My normal migraines tend to lessen in intensity and frequency during pregnancy, luckily, but I can totally sympathize with what you're going through. Search for the previous migraine thread for some advice, and definitely talk to your doctor.

  My midwife told me if I am susceptible to headaches and migraines already they will probably worsen throughout the second and third trimesters. I used to have migraines when I was younger, but fortunately I haven't experienced anything yet.

  I have a migrane Rx for fioriset(sp?) I'm allowed to take and that works pretty well. I Supplement with Tylenol sometimes. Headaches suck

  I get horrible ones, have my whole life. Since mine have been documented for like 15 years with my docs and neurologists I sometimes take a end that isn't really prego approved. It scares the dickens out of me. I made it to 15 weeks this pregnancy before I had to call my doc and cave to her suggesting I take aleve. In my case it's always a pro vs con and having to weigh the benefits against the risks. In this case I've had a migraine since sat that has been making me horribly sick. Tylonel doesnt do shit in it's own, it's seriously the most pointless drug. I am feeling relief now, slight pain but now I just feel like my head is in a huge bubble. Hoping to wake up pain free and bubble free in the morning.

  I've used natural calm which is a magnesium supplement before and that helps alot. It also helps with constipation and moods.
  
  I also find lavender oil in my baths helps or a little rubbed on my chest.
