If you have read any of my articles that relates to migraines, then the answer that springs to mind is a strong YES.
I really don’t need to belabor the prior bit of information. Bottom line is, if you suffer from migraines, do not be led into a false sense of security if the migraine medication you are on is controlling your headaches. Fix the problem instead.
This particular article looks at the relationship between migraines sufferers and the risk of of adverse pregnancy outcomes (low birthweight, preterm birth, infants born small for gestational age, Caesarean section (CS) and pre-eclampsia). Here’s what the researchers found when they looked at the pregnancy outcomes from 4911 women with migraines:
- Low birth weight – 16% increased risk
- Preterm birth – 24% higher risk
- C-section – 16% higher risk
- Pre-eclampsia – 34% higher risk
What does this tell us? That the problem with migraines are NOT limited to the head. If they were and medications did anything to fix the problem, than these higher pregnancy risks wouldn’t be present.
