Migraines

Nov 13, 2009 10:37

I'm 21w6d. And it's been 21 weeks of increasingly bad migraines.



I've had migraines with auras (mostly visual) since I was 13, with hormonal and weather triggers.

Since I've gotten pregnant they've gotten progressively worse. My auras are doubling up (loosing my sight for an hour) and now I've had one every night for the past two weeks. I see my Ob and a pain management Dr monthly, and the OB gives the unhelpful Dr answer of "Yeah that can happen when you're pregnant" while my other Dr says there's nothing I can take to stop or help them because I'm pregnant.

Other then this, everything has been normal and healthy with the baby. I can accept that I have to go through this if I have to as it will be worth it in the end. I read other posts and this seems to be common. I'm just worried that this might be a sign of further problems especially at this frequency.

For anyone that's had this, were there any other complications that happened? Did they go away after birth?

**Super big thanks to everyone that posts here - I haven't posted before but have gained so much by reading other posts and responses!
