Dizziness at 4-5 mnths post birth (bfeeding)

[threebirds]

Hi

Im just wondering if any other mums experienced dizziness 4-5 mnths after having baby?

Im breastfeeding & trying my best to eat well & keep hydrated.

Its probably just tiredness but for last week have been having dizzy spells, mostly in eve but woke up today with it and woke up from a really unpleasant vertigo dream. Legs can also feel a bit jelly like and there has been some nausea but the main thing is the lightheadedness - and no, not preg as we have yet to dtd.

Thanks x

Hi, yes I experienced dizziness from about 3-7 months after Lo was born. Can't offer any advice on how to stop it, or what caused it, just wanted you to know I was in the same boat!

Did you get checked out or anything?

No, I just put it down to having a baby hanging off my boob 24/7 and your hormones settling down. Make sure your drinking lots!

Thanks Katy, IKWYM.
I spoke to dr on ph & he agreed it was probably lack of sleep / hormones but is going to do blood tests to check iron & thyroid. X

I was going to suggest iron. I was severely low on iron after delivery and didnt feel normal for a month. But recently 6 months later I've started to feel a little woozy at random times and it feels the same as when my iron levels were low x

Yes get tested for anaemia can make you feel well bad

Take care
