Argh! Ophthalmic migraine! I never had a single migraine when I was pregnanct with Bob, but now I have an ophthalmic one, and I can feel the vise tightening on my head in preparation for all out migraine. And I can't tell if the nausea is just from the regular pregnancy nausea, or from the impending migraine. Please excuse any typos. I am just now

And I suspect you were there for Oriana's discussions of caffeine in pregnancy; the latest theory seems to be that it may not be so much that caffeine can cause miscarriages as that women who are already more likely to miscarry (the pregnancy is already in trouble) have less of the caffeine aversion in the first trimester and therefore CAN drink more. In other words, the recent wisdom seems to be that by second trimester, a cup of coffee or two a day will do no harm. And if it spares you some misery....
Anyway, I hope you recover soon, and this proves to be an aberration!

Interesting theory on caffeine and early pregnancy. I do have a coffee aversion, but more to do with the milk I always put into coffee than the actual coffee. I have no problem with iced tea, and in fact, it's preferable to water even. I'd refer to drink only that, but it's too much caffeine and it would dehyrate me.
Water has to be distilled and not too cold, not too room temp. Like cold water left out for about 15 minutes. Unless it's not distilled, then it has to be ice cold. Pretty much any other drinks, I'm just not interested. Funny that I don't much want hot tea either. I haven't been able to stand the thought of my favorite peach-passion fruit tea.
And llnaughty thought I was picky before pregnancy! Heh ( ... )

Interesting preferences you've developed - it could be worse, I guess, but I can see how it's a bit complicated to make sure you get enough water AND caffeine in your system these days. (And it's a shame about the hot tea.)

Thanks on the congrats! I didn't make a formal announcement on LJ, and I haven't been talking about it much, so no surprise you missed it. :)

Then my doctor said it was normal.
Scary stuff!
Apparently if you put your feet in really hot water and let them soak it draws the blood down from your head. Supposed to work.
Congrats on the baby! I'll have to start knitting something :)
