Hello
It seems from the history that your niece is having headache following delivery and she had high blood pressure during pregnancy because of which she underwent emergency delivery.
Increased blood pressure present during pregnancy may continue even after pregnancy and this increased blood pressure can cause headache. Hence first thing to be done is measurement of blood pressure to rule out hypertension as a cause for headache.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
