Dr. Wayne Ingram answered

Post partum status: You are still in the post partum period and sleep deprivation by a newborn is very common. However, the headaches bear mentioning to your OB MD prior to your 6 week post partum visit especially if you have pregnancy induced hypertension.(pre-eclampsia) as seizures can still occur in this stage.
