Congratulations, Mum2Boy, on the birth of your beautiful little son - what an ordeal! I can completely sympathise with you, I got the very same headache from my spinal, although I had a second epidural 'patch' after 24 hours and they were fixed. I can only imagine how awful it must have been to have to put up with it for as long as you did. Feeding lying down was a lifesaver for us too! Hope your experience as a Mum keeps on getting better from here!

BTW - we were told it was more like 1 in 500 to 1 in 1000 women that got the spinal fluid leak that caused the headache - but like Mum2Boy next time around if I get a vbac I'm staying right away from the epidural!
