Severe headache, high fever and suicidal ideation… are
emergency symptoms postnatal women should have a check-up as soon as they can.
Emergency postnatal symptoms
Severe (or continuous) headache
Maybe it’s due to the affection of epidural anesthesia (or
spinal anesthesia) which you need to see a doctor immediately. Within
72 hours after delivery, severe headache is a symptom of preeclampsia. If
that’s preeclampsia, you also have vision change or fatigue.

Hypertension
Postpartum hypertension may be a sign of preeclampsia after
delivery. You need to see a doctor immediately, and it’s going to be more
serious if you also have a headache, fatigue, or vision change – a typical sign
of postnatal preeclampsia.
Shortness of breath
Shortness of breath is normally a cause of an intense
activity, such as walking up the slope. However, if you still have short breath
even when you’re resting, it may be a sign of pulmonary
embolism.
