Ow.

I have had terrible migraines throughout this whole pregnancy. I have never had such bad headaches in my life. Yesterday it just got worse, and worse.

When you're pregnant the list of drugs to steer clear from is a mile long, and the list of acceptable medicines is tiny ... Tylenol is pretty much it. It doesn't help AT ALL. I really felt like dying last night. Like if you just popped my head off, I would feel better. (that might seem a little dramatic, but trust me, it was bad.)

So when I talked to my doctor at my last checkup about it, she suggested Tylenol. (right. Thanks.) The other things I've read about migraines suggest lying in a dark, completely quiet room. (I do think that would help) How often, as a mom of 4, do you get the chance to lie down in a completely quiet room? Not often. I was able to get the room dark, but without the quiet, it doesn't really help. So I just got up and dealt with it.

By the time the girls were all in bed, I really felt like throwing up and crying. (although maybe not in that order) Luckily I was able to get to sleep, and now this morning, it's not nearly as bad, but still here. I can tell it's probably going to come back at some point in the day. I just wish there was something to make it just go away. For good.

It's just so annoying and relentless. I'll have this sort of dull, migraine-y headache for weeks. I really hope they go away once this baby is born.

(sorry for the "poor me" post ... )
