I know people who have migraines for 2-3 days at a time. Some have them a lot more than that. I had the worst migraine of my life this weekend. I have the feeling a lot of pacts are made with God during migraines or at least resolutions. I don't think I made any pacts. I hope not cause I don't remember them.
The hormone shift of this stage in pregnancy creates nasty headaches. I pray this is the only one. Between overdoing it and really not getting the protein I, or the baby, need, (I crave animal protein when I get a headache anyway.) I set myself up for it. For anyone out there looking for pain relief when medicine doesn't work, hot showers are very therapeutic, very relaxing. And a cold cloth on the site of the pain is just enough of a numbing distraction to fall asleep. More often than not, lying down hurt me worse than being upright, so sitting up in bed or outside in fresh air helped me.
Brad was great, in charge of children for three days. He didn't go to work Friday which I was so greatful for. He stayed home once before because he saw how sick I was with a stomach bug. But this time I asked him. Friday was the sickest day.
But I am so much better now! God heard me. Not quite the same yet but getting there.
