Natural Remedies for migraines during pregnancy?
I am 13 wks pregnant and suffering from very intense migraines and back pain. My doctor prescribed Vicodin. I refuse to take it since it is classified as a Class C drug by the FDA. Is there anything at all – herbal, natural, etc. that anyone thinks might work – bearing in mind of course, that I am pregnant. The doctor says the migraines are due to high levels of progesterone. I know that certain juices work on people suffering from migraines due to testosterone – anything similar for progesterone?
Herbal isn’t always better during pregnant–it’s best to talk WITH your doctor and discuss options. Herbal remedies aren’t protected by the FDA, and the effects of some herbs on a fetus are still being researched.
My advice is to lie on your left side and discuss this with your doctor. Don’t just refuse a drug–DISCUSS it with your doctor. They went through the training, and now it’s time for you to listen. Get a second opinion if you want.
