Could be posture: I don't know how old your baby is, says you had a c section. But you might have poor posture which causes neck tension, which then leads to a headache. Also, your history says diarrhea, so another cause could be dehydration. The type of headache you describe is often called a tension headache even if you don't actually have "stress". Try exercise to strengthen your back and neck.

Typically tension HA: I would see a neurologist who specilizes in headache issues---sometimes Botox is injected in the neck muscles for issues like this with excellent results.
