Well, had a couple of days off work, nice, but Wednesday night got a migraine, then again yesterday evening and AGAIN at 4am this morning!!!! Oh it takes it out of me. I haven't had one in quite a while either so trust me to get them all at once!!

Has anyone else been suffering?? Any idea why I would get 3 in just over 1 day??

I had them quite badly but earlier on about 15-20 weeks. told mw and she said its because of the preganacy hormones clashing with the serotonin that our brains naturally produce. U might wanna have your blood pressure checked though aswell. I think lloyds pharmacy and boots will check it for you if you haven't got an appointment coming up soon

I live out in Bulgaria so no Boots for me!! I miss Boots.

Anyway, had BP taken last week and I go again in a week so will see if there's much difference between the 2. Last weeks was 110/60.

Thanks for the info x

Like i say that was earlier in pregnancy though so whether your body would have got used to the chemicals by now i dunno. I would ask at ya next app and like said check bp. could be dehydration aswell so drink loads!!

I get miagrains anyway. Saying that haven't had so many since being pregnant. Obviously can't take my normal tablets so I just rest and take co-codamol which seems to do the trick.

Hope you feel better soon x

As a fellow miagrain sufferer (for decades now) my answer to your topic "Migraines!!!! Where do they come from???" is....

Straight from the bowels of HELL!


Sorry I'm not more help, just wanted to let you know you're not alone.

They also come from having more blood flowing through your body. If you get too hot, have allergies, and from hormones you or baby produce. Sorry hun. Like someone posted, drink extra water and maybe take a sinus pill.

According 2 my doctor- people who get migraines before pregnancy arent suppose 2 get them as often..! maybe they just headaches..!

Sorry to hear about your migraines!!!

I'm lucky in that I've really not had any headaches since getting pregnant which is so nice as I get very bad normal headaches and if I get a migraine I can't have any light or noise around. They knock me on my butt they are so bad. In college, I was prescribed a very strong painkiller but I only used them if absolutely necessary as I was very hyper for 1/2 hour and then where ever I was I fell asleep and wouldn't remember anything.

Good luck and I hope they get better and go away again!!
