Anyone suffered this?

So I had my baby last Saturday morning. I had an epidural on the Friday evening that took 3 attempts. I was instantly left with a horrific spinal headache. It's now Thursday and it's still here. I've been back in hospital and had a blood patch on the Tuesday night. It helped ever so slightly. They wanted to give me another yesterday but I declined. No more needles in my spine. I've truely had enough though now. I can't hardly do anything with my newborn and it ruined my chances of breastfeeding. I'm mostly bed bound and the headache isn't shifting. Anyone been through this and how long until it went?

I haven't but I know many people who have. One was my cousin who is a mm and suffered that after a spinal tap gone awry. Sometimes it takes several attempts with the blood patch before getting it right. Go back to hospital if it doesn't let up but it's quite common hope you feel better soon. My cousin had the headache for 2 weeks ...

I haven't had an epi but i have heard of this being an issue for some people. Happened to one of my friends and she had to lay flat on her back for a week.
I hope it goes for you really soon xx
