Postpartum Weakness

beccabear100p

Anyone else experience weaknesses at 8+ weeks postpartum?
Half the time I feel like I'm on the verge of falling asleep even after a 3 hour stretch. Holding the little one gets tiring quickly (mix of upper body back weakness). Even walking feels exhausting.

Being a mom is pretty exhausting. We do a lot with our bodies so an amount of fatigue is to be expected. However If it’s impacting you enough that it’s hard to function you could always get bloodwork to check your iron levels etc. I was anemic prior to delivery & lost a lot of blood so I had a lot of weakness/fatigue afterwards and still do occasionally (15 weeks PP).
