When to worry?

Question

Just had my third baby on Monday (10/14). I’ve felt great except for yesterday and today. I’ve had a terrible headache. It hurts to blink and to touch my face. Feels like a lot of pressure in my face, forehead and behind my eyes. It’s throbby and bright lights make it worse. When should I worry and call my doctor?

Answer

I’d get checked out. You can still develop preeclampsia in the weeks after giving birth.

Answer

If you got an epidural it could be a spinal headache.. you can call your doc and see if you can get a blood patch

Answer

Go to the ER. It’s better to be safe than sorry, and as someone else said there’s still a possibility of preeclampsia even after you have baby

Answer

Yes, get it checked out. Ps congratulations btw.

Answer

Please get checked out asap. A woman at my church had similar symptoms, waited a few days, and ended up having a stroke. I'm not saying it's that, but it's important to figure out what it is because it can be serious.

Answer

You should call your doctor and/or get checked out ASAP. That does not sound normal at all.
