Managing migraine in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The disproportionate prevalence of migraine among women in their reproductive years underscores the clinical significance of migraine during pregnancy. This paper discusses how migraine evolves during pregnancy, secondary headache disorders presenting in pregnancy and puerperium, and acute and preventive options for migraine management during pregnancy and lactation. Migraine is influenced by rising estrogen levels during pregnancy and their sharp decline in puerperium.
