Epidural postpartum headache?!

Question

I had my baby on Wednesday and ever since the night I have had a real bad headache because of my epidural, could this eventually go on its own  or will I have to get the blood patch done, it's extremely painful  ?

Answer

Go get the blood patch. Everyone I have known has had to go get it because it won't go away that quick on its own.

Answer

I had that with my last baby. Get the blood patch it will not go away for weeks it's not worth the pain to wait it out and the relief is pretty much instant with the patch

Answer

I had this and it lasted 12 weeks. I didn't see the point in a blood patch because they need to give you another epidural which means you'll still risk another post epidural headache. I feel your pain and hope this eases soon!

Answer

Why would you want an epidural if those things can happen?
