Tension headaches after having baby?

[MamaPingu]

I've had a tension headache for over a week now which started when my baby was around 2 weeks, it has slightly got better but I was wondering if anyone else has had it too?

I was wondering if it was due to lack of sleep and a bit of stress?

I had a c section, I don't know if it's relevant!!

Congratulations on your new baby!
Just a thought but did you have an epidural? Sometimes headaches can occur up to a week later caused by a fluid leak when the epidural was put in.
I would speak to your G.P.
My cousin had the most excruciating headache and was treated back in hospital by having a blood patch to clot the leak.
Best of luck and I hope it gets better soon.

I did yeah!
I think anyway, is a spinal block something different? I think I had an epidural though...

Was her headache like a squeezing? That's what mine feels like, not particularly painful but tight!

Thanks for the reply
