Postpartum headaches: What's normal and what's not?
in Women's Health ·
Starting a new thread here... I gave birth about 1.5 months ago via C-section—after a grueling 12-hour attempt at a vaginal delivery involving an IV drip without an epidural (they tried, but it just wasn't happening) and some Dolophine. I lost quite a bit of blood during the surgery, so I was instructed to start iron supplements. Currently, I’m taking Floradix along with iron from Walgreens and some Vitamin C. Since the delivery, I've been dealing with these strange headaches—sort of a localized pressure at the base of my skull. They come and go throughout the day; they mostly subside when I'm lying down. I've also noticed they tend to flare up when the baby starts crying.
Has anyone else dealt with something similar?
