I assume you mean...: ...the mother and not the baby girl? Gotta watch your antecedents? A clue to cause is if the headache gets better when flat and worse when upright. If so, it's a post-spinal headache. Drink lots of fluids and caffeinated beverages (not you, "her") & call your obstetrician and tell him/her that you think "she" has a post-spinal H/A. They'll know what to do?
