  You should let your provider know, as there are medications you can take to help.

  Same here! My Dr gave me some meds (the caffeine pills) and I hate them. I have not only had horrible migraines for forever now but the past couple days i've had a constant full feeling in my head because of how bad my sinuses are. I've heard they get better so I'm rooting for you as well!

  Yep, same here but I did have migraines before pregnancy as well. They used to be monthly but now are weekly 😩 I’m 21 weeks now but they’ve been around since the first trimester. My neurologist had me try 2 different medications that did nothing for me (the only thing in 5 years to work for my migraines is apparently not safe for baby) so now I’m trying nerve block injections and so far they haven’t made the migraines go away but they have gone from lasting 3 days at a time to only 1 which I’m thankful for! Apparently this is the last option that’s safe for pregnancy... 
  but I feel your pain! They’re miserable!

  ugh. I feel your pain!! I actually came to this board looking for headache/migraine support! I don't post too often, but wanted to see if anyone else is suffering with headaches and migraines. Before pregnancy I got about 4-6 migraines with aura, a year and I got one weekly in first tri. I haven't had a migraine since but I get a headache EVERY SINGLE DAY. Today was my first successful day without a headache. I ate SO MUCH and drank a ton of water. I think it helped. I do have a dull ache, but I will take it over the pounding I usually get. My midwife was kind of like "oh that sucks" when I told her about my daily headache, no real suggestions. Anyway, Hang in there mamas! this won't last forever!!

  With my daughter, my OB prescribed reglan that I could take with 2 extra strength Tylenol because I’m normally prescribed sumatriptan when not pregnant for migraines.  This pregnancy, I’ve had two so far so I’ll ask for it again.

  Magnesium supplement at night an B2 vitamin during the day. Has helped me, before and during pregnancy.

  I have been a Migraine sufferer since five years old. I was forced to halt all of my preventative and on-the-spot medications when I found out that I was pregnant in April. For a while, my migraines stopped. Then, they picked up again as a complication of HG and dehydration.
  
  I'm now at 16 weeks and experiencing weekly again.
  
  Magnesium Melatonin was my OTC go-to but neither are healthy for a developing baby, so I have been told.
  
  Vitamin B2 is really effective in prevention and occurrence minimization.
  
  As boujie as an "oxygen bar" is, I have used the one at my local float spa and it refreshes my sinuses and can clear a migraine in under an hour.
  
  Chiropractic care is a must for me, personally, as most of my headaches and migraines begin in my shoulders, neck, and jaw.
  
  A warm bath with a cool compress and bath salts can help lots -- especially Vick's scented or similar.
  
  I hope that they start to lessen for you, mama. I feel your pain!
