Babies and migraines

Luckily I did not have migraines when I had my kids. I did not get them until I got older. Now I have grandkids. I dearly love them, but when I have a migraine and they start screaming or crying (they are now 2 & 3 yrs old) they hit that certain pitch in their voices that just shrills through your brain. It is like a train running over your head. The best thing to do is to have someone who can watch them for a while so you can rest until they are quiet. You will be able to get through it with some caring friends or relatives to help out and enjoy the precious gift of a child. Unfortunatelly, I am the relative that is supposed to be helping the mother..LOL

I have a niece and nephews that I spend as much time with as I can. There have been days when I have them by myself and I collapse into a puddle of tears and pain as soon as my husband comes home to help or their parents pick them up. I guess the positive thing is that no matter how bad the pain is, I have been able to take care of their needs when I have to.

I am sure you are able to help with your grandkids more than you realize. All the parents of young children I know are thrilled with any help they can get!

Thanks for posting!
