Pregnancy and Migraine

In 50 to 80 % of women with migraine, their migraine improves during pregnancy. In particular, this starts at the end of the first trimester (three months). Very few women (4-8%) experience a worsening of their migraine. The onset of migraine during pregnancy is very rare. It also depends on the individual whether your migraine will continue after the birth. You will wait and see together with your doctor. If your migraine continues after the birth, you can take painkillers and other migraine medications. However, be aware that some migraine medicines are not used while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Constipation during pregnancy
About half of pregnant women suffer from constipation. Due to the increase in the hormone progesterone, there is a partial slowing down of the digestive system. There is also more absorption of water from your large intestine during pregnancy. This leads to harder stools and slower bowel movements. Simple bowel softeners for constipation during pregnancy can be used at any stage. However, you should not use them without asking your doctor first. Constipation medicines soften your stool, making it easier for you to go to the toilet. They do not have any side effects on your baby because the substances in them are not absorbed by the body.
To prevent constipation, we recommend that you pay attention to the following;
– Eat regularly.
– Drink plenty of fluids.
– Exercise every day.
– Try to eat fibrous foods such as fruits, vegetables and cereals.
