    Migraines during pregnancy are especially difficult because of the restricted range of allowable medication. In my experience, acupuncture can be a big help to people wit migraines and is good alternative to medication during pregnancy. It is of course important for women with migraines during pregnancy get regular blood tests to check for excessive clotting. Fresh ginger is excellent for such women as it both thins the blood, helps with morning sickness, and increases ditetary absorption of nutrients

    Increase in stroke risk, but I wonder also about increase in pre-eclampsia, which is another cardiovascular-related symptom? I had pre-e with both my children and was told this could be an indicator for higher stroke risks later on (though my blood pressure outside of pregnancy is normal.) Interestingly, I had worse migraines when pregnant with my daughter than my son, though my pre-eclampsia set in later with her, and I assumed it was extra hormones.
