new mommies...anyone getting headaches???

LIttle Christopher is 5 weeks this Tuesday and holy **** (put the stars in myself since MedHelp would do it for me if I left my word of choice in :-)) I have been having the WORST headaches. I've been taking extra strength Tylenol to no avail...it's like my headaches laugh at Tylenol. They're sinus-type...hurts above the eyebrows and under the eyes where the sinuses are, and my face in those areas just feels bruised and painful. I'm on Lovenox (blood thinner) so I can't take ibuprofen or anything other than acetominophen. These are almost migrain level and I don't get migrains really except for MAYBE 1x every two years. Anyone have any suggestions? Is it hormone related? I've been feeling bluesy this last week and I'm really thinking it's the headaches.

huh???

well, anyways..... Chris, I've had the worse headaches too... I think mine are the lack of sleep... honestly, it's kicking my bee-hind... big time! but Maddie is getting so much better at night.... she goes to sleep at around 11:30 or 12 and wakes up (most of the nights) at 5 or 5:30.... that's pretty good considering I was up every 2 or 3 hours a couple of weeks ago! hehehe

Other than that, how's momma doing?? and little one? I've been on and off MH, but I miss you girls so much!!!

38...

Yikes! Was the hole in your back as-in your back-back where your skin is? Or in your spine? I did have an epidural...

How did they finally figure it out? It's been a solid daily 5 weeks of headaches for me.
