Pregnancy Migraines

Pregnancy migraines are a type of migraine headache that may occur during pregnancy. They are typically more frequent and severe than typical migraine headaches and can cause significant discomfort for some women. Pregnancy migraines often begin in the first trimester and usually abate after delivery. They may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, light sensitivity, vision changes and other symptoms. Treatment may include lifestyle changes, medications and relaxation techniques. As severity varies for each woman, it is important that those affected seek the advice of their healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.
