I am only 4 weeks in to my 2nd pregnancy. Last time I suffered from really bad migraines which caused blurred vision and sickness. Is their anyone else who suffers and can tell me what medication if any I can use when I feel one coming on? Any help will be good
Many thanks
Love Lucyh

hello Lucyh

I haved been suffereing migraines, but i have not been taking any medication for it, because i'm scared to incase it harms my baby.
however I have been using tigerbalm on my forehead & temples and that seems to do the trick.

Thanks Leanne. Where do I get it from and how much is it?

hello,

I got mine from harvels Chemist for 99p. []

A friend of mine suffered throughout her first pregnancy and was worried about getting pregnant a second time that it would happen again. She had regular Reflexology sessions during her pregnancy and only suffered one headache.

Sometimes it can be down to rising hormone levels. My sister suffers with migraines and noticed certain foods triggered her off during pregnancy especially oranges.

Please be careful with Tiger Balm, it contains clove oil which is not recommended during pregnancy, all aromatherapy oils are very potent, it would be a good idea to consult an aromatherapist to be on the safe side.
