I had a bad spell yesterday

Ended up calling the midwife over as I couldn't see properly, co-ordinate properly (posibbly due to the weird vision) my hand went numb then yes... hello headache... To make matters worse she found my blood pressure had went up (not dangerously, but previously 100/60 now 130/80) so got to go back to be checked on tuesday.
I wonder whether theres any connection between raised blood pressure and migraines... because a few hours after she left I went on to have another migraine on the other side.. (Two in one day... my mum was congratulating my migraine prowess) grr... ruined my day though as Id planned to goto a party at work but instead was lying in bed

Oh, dear! Poor you.

to you.

There could well be a connection - I never had my blood pressure checked during them, but it may well have gone up. Still, if they're monitoring it then that's reassuring.

When I have a migraine it starts off in one place - usually the left hand side, behind the head and behind the eye - and then wanders all over the place after a few hours. Ugh!

DONT ignore migraines or raised blood pressure!

I do not want to panick anybody here but I had migraines with visual distrurbances daily+high BP+ slight swelling on ankles and hands the week before xmas at 35 weeks pregnancy. I did not tick all the boxes for pre-eclampsia as my BP didnt shoot up rapidly but was slightly raised.

I had extra check on xmas day for Bp .......unfortunatly my baby had died. My daughter was still born on 27/12/10.

I am awaiting post mortem results.......I now that my BP dropped immediatly after delivery......a classic with pre-eclampsia.

If only I wasnt as laid back and thought all would be fine. Next time I will not ignore anything like this.

|I really hope and I am sure all will be fine for you but DONt ignore anything.

Price 27, what can I say? I am so sorry for your loss.

I hope everyone here takes that as a warning and it is good of you to post that to help people.

BP went down for this weeks check (120/70) still higher than average but definitely not worry level. Got another one on Monday just to make sure am staying somewhat consistant. Everything else was fine also (no protein + glucose this time, had them a couple of weeks ago & was a little worried but it was a UTI & got antibiotics) :-)
I do have slight swelling in my hands/feet sometimes, but as of yet not unordinary. Hoping I stay migraine free.

I am so sorry for your loss Price27, I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like for you

xxxxxxx
And will definitely make sure I keep getting checked, especially if the headaches come back. xxxxxxx

LucindaE · Feb 26th, 2010, 07:30 AM

I'm glad that all is going well for you, Angelzeye. You can't play too safe in pregancy... I hope you stay migraine free, because they are foul at any time, but somehow twice as bad when pregnant.

Price27, im so sorry to hear your experience.
im really worried about migraines in pregnancy, i usually get less than one a month normally, with zig zag aura and then a dull headache for one or two days. Since being pregnant they've got much more frequent although not more severe. i got two the day before i got my BFP and then about one or two a week since then (now 6 weeks). Iv even been getting them in my sleep - last night i dreamt i had an aura and Im sure it was real.
will definitely tell midwife at 10 weeks but its scary when you wonder if it is something that could also affect your pregnancy.

LucindaE · Mar 17th, 2010, 08:34 AM

Sorry, Terrilea Angelzeye, hayles503 and everyone, I had a problem logging in - the system accused me of impersonating myself (that could only happen to me!) and it took ages to sort out.

Terrilea I hope that foul headache wasn't the start of pregnancy migraines, or it it was, it was the only one.

Poppy - I hope you can have a migaine free pregnacy. It is SOO hard to manage with a toddler and a migraine.

Hope you haven't had any more?

Hayles I know how foul it is. Tell the doctor or midwife, and they might be able to suggest something. As long as your blood pressure isn't high and you're staying hydrated it doesn't seem to do any harm. I had many foul ones and it had no effect on the baby - but they are awful for you.
Sending you waves of sympathy!

I've been getting migraines on a just about daily basis (occasionally twice a day) for the last couple of weeks, presume it must have something to do with hormones

Am hoping it reduces after I have the baby urghx

LucindaE · Apr 4th, 2010, 09:58 AM

Oh dear, that does sound foul.

Sending you cyber

That really spoils things, and paracetomol doesn't seem to go near them. I suppose the Dr's are anxious to avoid meds, but when they are so frequent, it must be hard to eat.

I had them badly after my little run in with HG, between weeks 12-24 approximately, but why then I don't know. How far along are you? With me they seemed to tail off a lot in the third tri, and I hope the same happens to you if you're not there yet.
