View Full Version : Pregnancy and Migraine
Hi everyone,
So I was just about managing my anxiety surrounding my health and being pregnant, and then yesterday had what my doctor now told me was a migraine - I was seeing zigzag lines, then had the most terrible headache.
I've never had migraine before, and am now in a state of anxiety again because migraine is associated with DVT (and I already have a risk factor for that).
Has anyone else had migraines whilst pregnant?
Hey hun!
Sorry to hear you havn't been well. Migraines are sooo common in pregnancy tho. I had a few whoppers round your stage too but thankfully they eased off. Just try drink loads of water, at least two litres a day and try not to worry about it as the anxiety will only make it worse. It's to do with the increase of hormones...nothing to worry about honestly :hugs:
Take it easy and hope that you feel better soon x
Thanks, Shortcake. They say they are common but I don't know anyone whose had one. So now I do, which makes me feel a lot better. Am trying not to be anxious, but is easier said than done for me right now! How are you doing?:)
I'm doing ok thanks, tired these days and finding I get more out of breath or my heart going faster if I'm doing things and I've been getting anxious about that which only makes it worse :( But am trying to just take it easy and stay positive. I'm back at work on Tues after being off for the summer (I'm a teacher) and I dunno how I'll cope...not looking forward to it :(
How are you doing Genie? Hope the migraines have settled x
Headache is ok, so fingers crossed it was a one off... But morning sickness horrific (and at 14 weeks!!).
I'm a lecturer and due back tomorrow, so I know EXACTLY how you feel about the end of the summer break. Let me know how it goes.
Genie :)
Well back at work and feel like I could sleep for a week!!! It was grand , bit anxious this morning but it wasnt too bad. Just the heat is quite bad in the class so gonna get myself a fan as it doesnt help the situation!
Glad to hear the headache is ok, plenty of water will help :). Hope you get on well tomorrow and take it easy too. Do they know you're pregnant?
