Headaches after birth
I’m a little over a week postpartum and I’ve had a headache in my temples for about 24 hours. I’ve tried hydrating (although that’s super hard while breastfeeding lol), eating, Tylenol/ ibuprofen, lower screen time. Has this happened to anyone else 😭 Could it be the exhaustion??

Me!! Im not sure what's causing it
it’s so annoying because nothing helps!!!
cool! I’m not super familiar with those, do you have any suggestions?
Did you check your blood pressure? Did you get an epidural?
Is my second day with this… on the other hand I also have a sore throat for 3 days now but the headache has been the worse. It calms when I sleep but then I wake up and my right side is pounding. 😭
Dehydration is very common after child birth which can cause headaches!
Hormones, possibly post epidural headaches if you had one
Take your BP. This happened to me postpartum and I ended up in the hospital with preeclampsia
I did get an epidural so that may be it.
I’ve had a headache for two weeks
Yes! This happened to me! Very painful
I had this during my early first week post partum. They were so bad & the only thing that helped was sleep. I'm now 8 days post & havent had a bad one so far! If BP hasnt been an issue, I'd say its just part of the healing process & as your body balances itself back out, it should go away.
