Yes! They had mentioned that was one of the side effects. My headaches aren't that bad though. If they're severe definitely talk to a doctor. I've heard sometimes leaking spinal fluid can lead to severe headaches.

Yes, I had them after my c-section 3 years ago and hated them! They're worst than migraines. 😫 I was told to lay as flat as possible, cover my eyes with a mask, and have the room as quiet as can be. Doing that along with a pain reliever helped!

Birth options

Hi I’m due a scan Monday . I am 37 weeks today , I am just wondering what happens if it turns out shes breech? Are they gonna give it a few weeks or automatically go for c section? . I have been perfectly healthy up to this point & baby hasn’t had any problems growing . Also has anyone had a baby head down but face facing the wrong way? What happens in this case too? Advice please

Reason for C-section..

I’m opting for a C-section with my 3rd child soon & I’m just curious as to why people have them & if your reasons are similar to mine.
What was your reason?
