Although this post was a few years ago now, i just wanted to say that i too had a spinal headache for 10 days after having my twins. I had a spinal block, i was told the risk of a Post dural puncture (spinal) headache was less with a spinal block than an epidural as the epidural needle is much bigger.... but go figure i still got it! it was the worse 10 days of my life, especially being told i have to lay down (which did make me feel better but..) I JUST HAD TWINS! how on earth was i meant to stay laying down for 10 days! I choose not to have the blood patch, but was advised if it hadnt gone within two weeks to return and have the proceedure done.
