1st trimester migraine

[TrudyCampbell]

There's nothing I can take right? I've taken Tylenol every 4 hours since 4am. I can't get out of bed and I had to cancel all my plans today. Not happy.

Have some caffeine. It will help some. I was caffeine free besides with migraines while pregnant. I hope something helps.

Ugh, sorry to hear you have a migraine. I find that when I can't take something stronger, caffeine and a really really hot shower help. Followed by pitch black with a pillow over my eyes.

You need some caffeine. Seriously.

[TrudyCampbell]

Caffeine is a good idea. Just ordered a large coffee from my H.

Ughhh I wish I just took the excedrin migraine without researching why aspirin is bad in pregnancy. One dose wouldn't have done anything but now I'm freaked out.

I took 3 Excedrin migraine pills without even thinking about it a few weeks ago. I washed it down with a cup of coffee. I freaked out after. Once I calmed down I figure one dose in the first tri is not the worst thing. Im sure people have taken worse.

My doctor gave me vicodin for my migraines which I have not taken yet. Vicodin is ok but Excedrin migraine is bad? Im not sure how that works but I can not function with a migraine so not taking anything is not an option.

No freaking out. I know women who have chemo while pregnant. One excedrin migraine will be fine.

Do you normally get migraines?

I got them a lot in the 3rd trimester with Violet. I get them about once a year while not pregnant. This better not become a trend! I'm feeling a bit better now, it's downgraded to just a bad headache. I'm glad it's Saturday because I cannot function.

I'm sorry. I had the worst 1st tri headaches, I drank so much coffee and tylenol. I hope you get relief soon!
