Anyone else have a migraine?

I've had a migraine for 4 days now... It's gotten to the point that it HURTS my head and neck to even turn my head.
It hurts so bad to lean over or stand back up, I wake up every couple hours every night with my head feeling like it's splitting and I can just lay there feeling like I'm falling!
I've kept myself well hydrated, and tried taking paracetemol... which does not help.
My head is constantly feeling like it is throbbing.
I'm not exactly sensitive to the light anymore, but any loud noises make my head echo and pound and I feel like strangling the source of the sound.
It kinda hurts to focus my eyes on things, but isn't unbearable.

I was told by the head nurse at Kaiser that if I got migranes (which i do every now and then) I shoud try taking tylenol with a coke. She said Coke or Pepsi doesn't hurt the baby, so when I feel a headache coming on I drink some cola and that normally does the trick I'm pretty sure it's the Caffenine. I hope all is well if it gets worse just go to the hospital. Hopefully they can give you something that will help you sleep! Good luck with that and Happy 4th.

OOOOps just saw your from Australia...haha I doubt you celebrate 4th of July! Have a good weekend and try to get some rest!

Me too.

That sucks! Are you sure it's a migraine? Kinda sounds more like a sinus headache with the sensitivity to sound and trouble focusing. All of my migraines have had extreme sensitivity to light. Try taking some tylenol for pain and sudafed for sinus conjestion with a caffienated soda (all are ok occasionally in pregnancy). Caffeine definately helps with headache.

Good luck!

yay for migraines....not really but you know LOL...all i can say is have some panadol and a heat bag for your neck.... i got one today ....

I just dealt with that a couple of weeks ago. The doctor gave me some Fiorcet. I was scared to take it but they convinced me that it was safe during pregnancy. In a last case scenario they were going to give me Lortab for pain but I refused those since they have codeine.

The first couple days I was sensitive to the light, but it had started going away..

Today I woke up, same painand having a little trouble keeping my breath.
I'm going to go to the pharmacy, see what they think and what they have for me.
