Energy Level after miscarriage

lindahwa

Hi All,

Today is the 8th day after the miscarriage (at 7 weeks).  The bleeding has stopped 2 days ago and I have been planning to do light exercises.

To my dismay, my body is very tired and very exhausted.  I started going back to work 3 days ago and each day, after work, I feel like passing out (in fact, I think I did on Monday).  Today, I climbed stairs (short ones) inside the house while carrying my bichon frise (who is about 13 lbs) and I was out of breath.

I am so used to be athletic and strong so this has been a very humbling experience for me where my body just refused to cooperate, even for the small tasks.

Is this normal?  Should I go back to see my Dr?  I stopped checking my blood level since my last HCG level has dropped from 500s to low 100s and my pregnancy test is now very faint positive (almost negative).    My mom thinks that I might be anemic due to the blood loss....I am just wondering if anyone else has experience this temporary drop in energy level and if the energy will pick up after a few days or few weeks?   Thanks ladies and I am so sorry that we all have to go through this traumatic experience.

I too had a lack of energy after my mc.  I was tired way more often than I would of liked.  My husband said I need to give myself  a break, that it's been through a lot.  I got back my energy over time,but, if you are like me, you probably had to cut back on intensity when you found out your were pregnant, so take that into account when you want to be back to where you were immediately.
