Migranes after Birth

[adele88]

for the past couple of days i have been suffering with the worst migrane ever i feel totally off i have tryed everything to take it away but no it still comes back no matter what also i have a terribly nervous feeling in my stomach. Is this normal after labour?

if you had an epidural it can cause bad migrains ibrufen and lots of coffee and give your gp a ring my friend had a lumber puncture a while ago and had a simular prob but she couldnt lift her head of a pillow she was fine when layed down just standing made it real bad could also be stress and tiredness hun alot of changes going on for you xx

Hi Adele,
How long ago did you give birth? I, personally, would phone NHS Direct and ask them. You can get pre-eclampsia after givien birth - up to about 4 weeks after apparantly (though v rare) normally it is within about 5/6 days after.
But yeah, also an epidural can cause it.
Hope this helps

Today its just a really bad headache, and its always behind my left eye im gonna try to take a walk anyway and see if i feel better tho.. did yours go away soon after adele?
