Pregnancy Info HOME

I am now 20 weeks pregnant, and I've also been suffering from migraines. I currently have perscriptions for both Davocet and Tylenol W/Codeine. My migraines have got so bad that I had to go to the ER twice. I was told that our condition is caused by hormones. I haven't had a migraine in a couple of weeks now and hope they do not return, but was told they could last my whole pregnancy. I read an article on migraines in a mag. and one of the treatments that are now being used is massage therapy. Maybe you should ask your OB/GYN about this. I have an upcoming appointment with a doctor that covers physical and massage therapy. I am looking forward to trying this treatment, and perhaps you may want to look in to it. You could also try using some Pseudoephed when your headaches are not so bad this will relieve pressure in your head. As long as you take care of yourself I believe your baby will be just fine. It's only natural for you to be concerned about your unborn child, but don't worry to much you don't want to stress yourself out. My husband works in the medical field, and we have several friends that are doctors. I have worried as much as you but have been assured many times that these med. will do my baby no harm. I trust my doctor and have been focusing on my on health. Oh, and check this out I was reading this one article on the net put out by some news network. It was about determining the sex of your child by looking at the symptoms you have during pregnancy. And one of the syptoms found in women that are having boy's is headaches and migraines. I am keeping my fingers crossed because my husband and I are hopping for a little boy, but I know better than getting my hopes up. I just want to close in telling you not to worry and good luck in the remainder of your pregnancy. And may you have a healthy & beautiful baby. And may God bless you and your family.
