Has anyone suffered from headaches after getting a epidural? #1WeekPostpartum!
Yes. Severe headaches, especially when sitting up and standing, along with vomiting. It's a spinal fluid leak from the epidural. If the headaches are debilitating or getting worse, call your OB and ask for a "blood patch". They will outpatient you to the OR and have a surgeon pull blood from your arm and inject the blood into the epidural space of your lower back. It will patch the hole and stop the leak. Headache goes away immediately.
