Headaches

I suffer from headaches.  No one has ever been able to figure out why.  Anything that raises my blood pressure can set off a sudden onset migraine that leaves me writhing in  pain.  Unfortunately while I am pregnant I can't take the medication that normally helps keep these head aches in check.  The drug can increase my baby's chance of having spina bifida.  So there is no question of my taking it.  I can last out another six months until the baby is born.  I have heard that it is safe for breastfeeding but I am not sure I want to be taking so many medications and passing them onto the baby.  Anyway that is a whole new post.  In the mean time I am having battle frequently with bad headaches.  The worse ones are making my morning sickness worse, I usually feel a bit sick when I have a bad one so it is just piling up on top of the morning sickness.  Today is a bad one.  I am struggling along at work but only with the help of some Panadeine which has its own unwelcome side effects.  What I really want to do is go home and sleep for the day but alas it is not an option.  So on with the day and thinking about my perfectly healthy baby to keep me going :-)
