Had my first ever migraine today
by Natasha Thu May 29, 2008 8:11 pm
 I feel sorry for anyone who has them frequently, it was awfull. I started seeing swirls and weird coloured shapes in my peripheral vision, which went which scared the life out of me! It went and all of a sudden a wave of intense pain started at the front of my head, and my god it was the worst thing I have ever experienced ( apart from birth, though id rather had done that! ) and Ifelt sick as a dog, was sick  and had to go bed and felt fine when I woke up after an hour. I realised I had one because all I had all day was two packets of crisps and a few bits fo chocolate  I had a dicky tummy and didn't fancy anything else, I will not be making that mistake ever again  |

:aww: I feel for you - they are horrid!
I used to get them regular a couple of days before period, but i am generally ok when pg and bf - apart from the one i got taken in by ambulance with when pg!
The lack of food is most likely the trigger.
mine are an oestogen deficiency just before period - which is why i think i am much better when pg.

Yes I do think it was because I didn't eat properly 
I really feel for those who get it a lot, must have been horrible, would of dreaded a period if that happened each month

Thats one thing i love about bf - no periods = no migraines 
Ive read about an oestrogen gel that you can apply directly to skin about 2 days before period which can really help migraine sufferers - so im going to try that when the dreaded things return!
Eat well and stay well hydrated - hopefully its a one off for you :aww:

I am much better today, thank you everyone. :aww:
I will add those smilies Katie!!
I got my period around 9-10 months I think
Even then it wasn't consistent, had big brakes in between each one and they were not half as bad as before pregnancy
