Hello, here are several key steps you should take: 1. Identify the underlying cause(s) of your migraines. 2. Ensure adequate sleep—aim for 8 hours per night to help maintain stable hormonal levels during pregnancy. 3. Engage in appropriate physical activity—such as daily walking or prenatal yoga—tailored to pregnant women. 4. Avoid taking medications without medical guidance. I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
