I have suffered from migraines since elementary school, during pregnancy my OBGYN prescribed me fioricet for mine.

Same — fioricet has worked better than excedrin for me! I’m so terrified of getting a migraine during labor :(

I continued taking sumatriptan during pregnancy (had been prescribed it for a decade before then). It’s category C and my doctor agreed the benefits outweighed the risks for me.

Strange! I used to take that but my doctor made me stop and prescribed fioricet instead.

I had horrible headaches throughout my recent pregnancy. Light aromatherapy, heated neck wrap, facial massage (quite a few different techniques out there). Be sure to make sure you are not exhibiting preeclampsia symptoms along with the headaches—that was ultimately my issue. Not a fun to spend your final weeks pregnant!

Try Tylenol and Benadryl- it worked for me

I’m in my 3rd trimester and have been having a headache for more than 24 hours. Usually I use Excedrin and it does wonders. Because the only headache pill that’s pregnancy friendly is Tylenol, I’ve been taking that since my headache started yesterday...but it’s not strong enough. The headache just gets worst and feels like a migraine now. Is it ever going away?

Any tips? Thank you!

Agree with Digitas 1. I did the same.

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

I know this may sound like a question but I'm not sure how far along am I. My last mense was we 8/2. My embryo transfer was 8/23. I did my blood test on 9/1 and it was positive. How do I know how many weeks am I?

Had a really bad day 😞 I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. Things will be going well and then out of nowhere I get blackout drunk. I am tired of feeling sick and anxious from drinking. I don’t really even want to drink sometimes but do it anyway. Blacked out last night, and still feel sick now. I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?
