    yes, she did. Her hormones were too much for her. She has a set of perfect teeth now though.

    Are you going to find out the sex?

    THese are all great suggestions.

    If nothing works I'd call the doctor. I think this happened to another poster who was pregnant. Her doctor gave her vicodin for her migraines. I never heard of that but they said it was safe for her to take.

    I take imitrex for mine but I'm not so sure that would be a good idea while pregnant.

    Water really helps? I didn't know drinking lots of water helps get rid of them. I think I read one time KC had a migraine and she said she was drinking water. I'll have to try that next time I have a migraine and peppermint oil.

    yeah, getting dehydrated can trigger a migraine.

    doctors are also able to prescribe percocet and opiate-based pain killers for pregnant women. it doesn't hurt the baby as much as everything else.

    Funny, because I actually suffered more migranes BEFORE I had my children. They seemd to ease up afterwards, which was somewhat surprising, but I do still get them occassionally, in which I case I tend to use caffeine and ibuprofen to get rid of them.

    However, I can recall being pregnant with my oldest son and having some severe migranes to the point where I was ready to go to the ER. I never took anything for them, I didn't want to risk any possible side effects to my baby so I would usually try to sleep it off if I could. Not always feasible though! I was also told to take in more fluids, that it could help?

    I hope you get some relief soon!

    Funny you mention the whole caffeine thing... since being pregnant I have completely cut caffeine out of my diet... maybe that's the problem.
