Answer to Question 1

4
1. Incorrect. Total or nearly total regression of varicosities is expected after childbirth. However, headaches might deserve attention.
2. Incorrect. Carpal tunnel syndrome is relieved in childbirth when the compression on the median nerve is lessened. Headaches, however, might deserve attention.
3. Incorrect. Periodic numbness of the fingers usually disappears after birth unless carrying the baby aggravates the condition. Headaches, however, might deserve attention.
4. Correct. Headaches in the postpartum can have a number of causes, some of which de-serve medical attention.

D
