You keep telling yourself you’ll deal with it later.

When work slows down. When the kids are less busy. When you have more time.

But here’s what waiting is actually costing you:

1️⃣ Your evenings. You get home and the headache is already there. So you’re short. Distracted. Counting down until you can close your eyes. The people who get you after work are getting the leftovers.

2️⃣ Your weekends. Saturday morning should feel like freedom. Instead you wake up with tension already building. Half the day gone before you feel human again.

3️⃣ Your focus. You’re in the meeting but you’re not really there. You’re reading the same email three times. The headache is running in the background like a tab you can’t close.

4️⃣ Your patience. Little things set you off. You snap. Then you feel bad about snapping. Then you’re exhausted from feeling bad.

5️⃣ The things you actually want to do. The workout you skipped. The plans you cancelled. The moments you sat out because your head was pounding.

You’re not lazy. You’re not dramatic. You’re just running on empty and trying to keep up.

At some point waiting costs more than starting.

Comment ENOUGH if you’re there.

Let’s be real — when you’re postpartum, headaches feel like just another thing on the pile. You’re exhausted. You’re not sleeping. So you blame it on that.

But here’s what’s actually happening:

1️⃣ Your body just went through 9 months of shifting. Your center of gravity changed. Your spine adapted. Now it’s trying to figure out what “normal” is again — and your neck is taking the hit.

2️⃣ You’re looking down constantly. Feeding. Holding. Rocking. Scrolling at 3am because you can’t sleep anyway. Your neck is stuck in forward flexion for hours every day.

3️⃣ Your upper back is locked up. The muscles between your shoulder blades are working overtime to support your posture while you carry, feed, and hold your baby. They’re exhausted. And they’re referring pain straight to your head.

4️⃣ You’re running on fumes. Dehydration. Skipped meals. Broken sleep. Your body is screaming for support and headaches are the alarm.

5️⃣ Nobody checked your neck. Everyone asked about your belly, your mood, your bleeding. But nobody looked at your spine — even though it just went through one of the biggest physical events of your life.

There are more personal reasons, but these are the ones I see every single week in new moms.

Comment POSTPARTUM if you want to know what actually helps.

You’re not imagining it. And you don’t have to just push through.

6 years of tingling in her hands and feet.

She thought it was dehydration. Her doctor dismissed it. So she just lived with it.

Cooking was frustrating. Her hands would go numb halfway through. She’d shake them out and keep going because what else was she supposed to do.

That was her normal.

When she came in we found it was coming from her neck. Not dehydration. Not stress. Not “just one of those things.”

Her neck.

After we addressed it she told me she can finally cook without her hands tingling. She said Christmas was great this year.

6 years she didn’t have to live like that. But she didn’t know.

That’s the thing about symptoms you think are normal. You stop questioning them. You build your life around them. You forget what it felt like before.

Tingling. Numbness. Headaches. Stiffness. Sciatica.
These aren’t just things you have to live with because you’re getting older.

Your body is telling you something. The question is whether anyone’s actually listening.

“I thought I was always going to be like that. I almost cried. I’m only 40.”

That’s what she told me.

Medical assistant. Mom. Busy life. Headaches and hip pain for 10 years.

She wasn’t in crisis. She wasn’t desperate. She just finally made time for herself.

And here’s what got her - she had accepted that this was just how her body worked now. Headaches a few times a week. Hip that always ached. Waking up stiff.
She’s 40. Not 80.

But somewhere along the way she decided this was her normal. That moms just feel like this. That busy people just deal with it.

Nobody told her it could be different.

So she stopped expecting it to be.

That’s the trap. You don’t realize how bad your normal has gotten because you adjusted to it slowly. Year after year. Until you forget there was ever another way to feel.

Normal is not optimal.

Just because you’re used to it doesn’t mean you have to live with it.

If I could go back in time I would tell that kid that I’m proud of how far he has come.

Bet on yourself every single time.

Don’t give up.
