Headaches

TJ1979

I've had a mostly constant headache since P was born. It varies in intensity from barely noticeable and just annoying, to bad enough that I have to sit down and cover my eyes and tub my forehead. The pain is in the front of my head, temples, forehead, and behind my eyes. So not at all like the migraines I used to get.
The pain is pretty well managed with just ibuprofen, but I hate taking it every single day.
Anyone else experience this? Suggestions? TIA!

I had headaches too in the first couple of weeks but I also wasn't eating/Drinking enough looking back. Not sure if that is the case with you though!
I hope they pass soon.

I had pretty constant headaches after the twins were born due to dehydration. Once I started drinking more water, I felt a lot better. I hope you get some relief soon!

After each birth I was taking my migraine meds like they were candy.  They didn't stop until my hormones were settled down.  It sucked.

I get migraines regularly, since I was 16, and they are exactly where you describe for me. Mine are hormonal so I had some post-partum with G and they were awful. It's actually good that ibuprofen helps them. I had to use something stronger. I hope they go away soon once your hormones even out. I sympathize greatly with anyone who has to deal with bad headaches. Hugs!

Yep had them for about two weeks. I was thinking it could be hormones adjusting. They sucked.

I've had hormonal migraines too since high school, but they were usually more classic migraines, one side of the head, vision changes (aura), sensitivity to light. But luckily I haven't had those since I got pregnant with E.
Hopefully this is just my hormones evening out. I don't think it's food or hydration related, I'm pretty good with eating and drinking. But I'll try to get a little extra water just in case.
Thanks ladies.
