Postpartum
I am 4 days postpartum and I have had a headache all day and I’ve been trying to figure out if it’s something to be worried about. I can’t figure out if it’s exhaustion, blood pressure, or anemia that’s causing it. I had a postpartum hemorrhage so I have a significantly lower blood count than normal, I was put on an iron supplement, and I take blood pressure medicine. But overall I just feel really tired. I know they say to call with a headache but I kinda want to wait it out to see how I feel after a nap.

Did you have an epidural? I’ve heard those can cause headaches
I did call. The doctor wants me to monitor overnight and if I feel worse to go in. But it seems to be getting a little better
I did. I’m wondering if it is epidural related because I’ve been having random pains in my back as well
keep us updated! Feel better 💕
I checked in with my ob and he is having me monitor my blood pressure and temp at home. Both have been a little high but not high enough to be concerning
have your symptoms relived? I hope your doing better mama🙏🏼
feeling a little better today! I feel like pregnancy and postpartum puts us so in tune with our bodies that we notice little things that feel off. I’m so worried about an infection because of how invasive it is to stop a hemorrhage so I feel like I’m noticing signs that could point to an infection even when they could be from a ton of other things. I get so anxious about how me and baby are doing so I hope that gets better soon
