I am having a migraine. Anyone have any all natural cures...I am pregnant so I am limited inm what I can take.

I have had the same issues, but thank goodness it has passed for now. My doctor gave me Tylenol with codeine in it, however that did NOT help and made me very sick to my stomach!!!

I know I am different then many with migraines, BUT what always helps me is if I sit in the shower and let the water pound on my head... Oh and of course the lights are off and it is HOT water... after this, I always take Tylenol and then go and lay in bed and TRY to sleep... This is the best I can do when pregnant but it really does help... my migraines seem to peak in the beginning of the second trimester, then just seem to disappear! I haven't had one in a couple months! Thank goodness!

Oh and it is true being on the computer when you have a headache just adds to it! So read everyones comments then really try the shower! Hope it helps! Take care!

One more thing, yes headaches, migraines SOMETIMES mean more, but often if you suffer from them before pregnancy they just get worse with the pregnancy because of the hormones! This is my 3rd pregnancy and I have had bad ones with each pregnancy, and they are simply because of the hormone levels!

my mum told me that breating into a paper bag can help. dont know if it works but i guess you can only try. good luck

Dampen a cloth and go lay down in a dark room. Place the cloth over your face and close your eyes.

Relax.

The best medicine is sleep. =)

close the lights and refresh your mind lay back and close your eyes
migraine is all about tension
have a good thought
think about what a wonderfull mother you will be because am sure you will be one
you are standing your own pain for his sake
message the upper parts of your head with your fingers and till the parts above your eyes
just think about good things at these moments it wont take time till it is gonne

try vinegar soaked brown paper on your forehead (it's from the Jack & Jill nursery rhyme) - I've always wanted to try it but when I have a migraine I'm very scent - sensitive and would throw up from the vinegar smell!

Tylenol is ok to take while pregnant.

Also try alternating a hot pack and a cold pack on the base of your skull/back of neck - it can open up the blood vessels improving the blood flow and lessening the pain.

dark room, sleep.

you can take paracetamol safely, 2 every 4-6 hours, i did during my pregnancy, it's completely safe.

Oohh i feel your pain! I suggest drinking a glass of water, taking two panadol/tylenol and heading off to bed!.. I know its hard to fall asleep with a migraine so if you cant fall asleep, even just lay in bed with your eyes closed for a while (you might even fall asleep eventually). If your migraine gets unbearable you need to call your OB/GYN or Doctor.

Did yo try tylenol? you should call your dr and ask what you can take.

bath and body works makes a roll on headache relief stick.

i get migraines too and not much helps other than going to sleep and limiting the light my eyes take in. i haven't tried since i've been pregnant but doing a head stand has helped my headaches in the past. i know it sounds crazy but it really did work, of course since you're pregnant you shouldn't do it without someone there to help you but if all else fails...

I had horrible migraines the first 2 months of this pregnancy. Tylenol never works for me but I was told it's ok to take benadryl once in a while, which worked very well for them. I haven't used it in a few months, and baby is perfectly fine and healthy :)

a warm shower always helps me

what i do is that i let my husband massage my head with oil and it really works, and put like a cold cloth thats soaked in cole water and put it on your eyes and lye down in a dark room always work , and water lots of it

go for a walk-it will take your mind off things---- being on here doesnt help your migrain either

I find a cold pack on your forehead and a dark quiet room tends to help. I would suggest seeing your doctor however as pregnancy headaches can be a symptom of problems.
