Headaches
Has anyone else had a persistent headache after having their baby? Mine has been going on for a week straight now and over the counter meds haven’t worked at all. My blood pressure is fine and no vision changes or anything 🤦🏽♀️ my doctor seemed unsure of what it was.

Also make sure you are eating enough! You burn around 500 extra calories per day just from breastfeeding.

I feel like I need an extra 4-6 glasses per day than normal. Especially right after birth but it eventually evened out closer to normal

@Evelyn yes, but I thought I was drinking enough water 😩 how much are you drinking?

I had the same thing, honestly just think it was from not sleeping 😩
I read online headaches are most likely from hormone levels filling and/or evening out. Since our hormones are all out of whack, it's often from that. However, pregnancy can also change our eyesight, and that can cause headaches too. You may want to get your eyes checked. I always know when my eyes have changed and I need a new script by how many headaches I have.
