What Causes Bad Headaches Postpartum?

I have a family memeber that had a baby 2 weeks ago and is now in the hospital. She started having horrible headaches and they have been checking they mentioned something about Post pardom something, blood clot in the vein in the brain. They say only one in 3 million women get this. I was wondering if you knew the exact name of what I am talking about.

Hi

I admire you for positive outlook.

I understand your concern.

Generally it is very rare that after delivery you have a clot in brain.

If it is so then it produce various kind of symptoms apart from headache.

so only headache does not indicate it.

Need to relax.

It is just worry.

Do not think much and just take simple analgesic.

Sometimes it happen in postpartum period and keep busy with baby care and relax.

Still have a query then feel free to ask.

Happy to help you.

Thank you.

Take care.
