A member asked:
Headache everyday 9 days after delivery. is this from my epidural? i got it twice bc it went into vein first time. will headache go away on its own?

Maybe: Sometimes after the placement of an epidural, spinal fluid can leak out of your back. This decreases the pressure and gives you a headache. This headache will be worse when you are upright and improved when laying down. It will frequently go away after a couple of weeks. If it doesn't, you may need treatment. There are other causes of a headache after delivery so let your doctor know.
