I have a history of migranes, but since getting pregnant have not had one till last night. It was a whopper and all i could take according to the advice nurse was tylenol. In the past and now tylenol did absolutely nothing. I suffered all night and morning. Still have a horrible headache. Anyone know what i can do or is there anything they have given you for migranes, Im 32 weeks pregnant.

You may also want to try chiropractic care and massage therapy to reduce that awful neck tension that can build into migraines. I am a migraine sufferer too, and Tylenol just doesn't work for my headaches or migraines. My midwife was very hesitant to allow me to take my migraine meds during pregnancy, so I am too scared to take them. Luckily I've only had a couple this pregnancy, and none since I started seeing a chiropractor. Also, the chiropractor helps with my back pain!

I have suffered from major headaches all through my pregnancy, i am 37 weeks today, and the doctor told me tylenal was all i could take. She also told me to buy tylenal migrane medicine, but it didnt work either. I can only tell you to relax and try taking a nap if you can. Sorry. Im suffering too so your not alone. Good Luck!!!

When I was pregnant with my daughter my ob had given me prescription medicine. He did do a lot of research and had to get back to me in a couple of days. He wanted to make sure that the medicine was okay to take while pregnant. I am sorry that I can not remember the name of the prescription. (That was almost three years ago) I know that there is medicine out there, keep bugging your OB until he finds something. You should not have to suffer.

I have read that the nutritional supplement magnesium is great for migraines. It is usually added to calcium. You can find it at pretty much any grocery or drug store. I know I used a prescription muscle relaxer called soma when pregnant because I had some really bad migraines, and I also used magnesium. I only used soma when I had them, but I would take magnesium regularly.

Ginger is supposed to help. Your nutrients could be off and that's causing problems. You might give a call to a homeopathic doctor for some suggestions. Good luck.
