Migraines

I'm 20wks pregnant as of today and I have extremely awful migraines. I've always had bad migraines well before my pregnancy. However the medicines I normally take I no longer can. Do any of you know of anything that may work other than Tylenol? Home remedies?

Tylenol is garbage lol. I've had migraines all my life it seems and now that I'm pregnant there's nothing I can do. Drink a lot of water and lie down in the dark with an ice pack where the pain is. You can try the mixture of some caffeine and Tylenol. And if fiorocet ever worked for you as a migraine med. You are allowed to take it. Ask your ob to prescribe you some. None of the triptans ever worked for me and I was on hydrocodone for them. I hope that yours don't last for days like mine do. I have one for almost two weeks straight

Try drinking a coke. It helps me out pretty quick. Drink one and lay down for a bit. Good luck, migraines suck.
