Anyone find help for Chronic Migraines during Pregnancy?

[Dee_J29]

So I have suffered with chronic migraines for almost my whole adult life (15+ years now), and unfortunately, they have continued throughout my first trimester. Normally, I have my medication which can save me throughout any given day that the pain is too severe to deal with, but of course that is not an option now that I am pregnant. I have tried everything you can imagine from natural remedies to medical services in the last 15 years and nothing seems to helpSo I have suffered with chronic migraines for almost my whole adult life (15+ years now), and unfortunately, they have continued throughout my 2nd trimester (15 weeks preggo).

Any advice for how to deal during pregnancy? My midwife has said to keep hydrated (80 oz/day!) and drink coffee each day, but that does not seem to help either. I want to do what's best for my baby but I also am terrified I'm going to have to deal with this the rest of the pregnancy and then through breast-feeding as well. It's so tough when I'm juggling the migraines, normal pregnancy symptoms, and work/home life. Any thoughts or insights? Is anybody else going through this?
