Has Anyone had Migraines with pregnancy?

Question

Had headaches for about two weeks straight do the doctors prescribe migraine medications to pregnant women? 16 weeks

Answer 1

I to suffere from migraines when i was pregnant, that started at 12 weeks and my dr. gave me vicodin for the pain. however i'm not sure if i had to do it over again if i would pass on it because my son was extremely colicy when he was born and i sometimes wonder if the meds had anything to do with that. On the other hand i do remember the pain so it is a hard choice. hope this helped.

Answer 2

The migraine meds I was on before i got pregnant aren't safe to take during pregnancy.  I was told to take the tylenol, lay down in a dark room with a cool washcloth on my forehead and the back of my neck and drink a glass of pop with caffeine in it to help with mine because the OBGYN said none of the migraine meds are really recommended for pregnant woman.  It would be best for you to notify your DR that you have had the headache for that long to see if there is anything they can do.
