Thank you. Mine hit immediately, and I have had 2 blood patches at this point. Both of which worked for a time, and didnt stick fully. After 2 all they can do is to "treat conservatively" which just means keeping myself hydrated and caffienated. If the pain returns fully...I'm just going to be distraught. I couldn't sit up to nurse my baby. I couldn't barely hold him, couldn't tolerate light. I just feel like it has already caused me to miss out on so much of his first days. Having myself a pity party.
