Light-headedness?

Anyone else experiencing light headedness post c-section? I am breastfeeding and I know that I am eating enough cals and drinking enough water. After talking to some family members that are doctors over the weekend, they suggested I have a blood test done to check for anemia. I am 2 months postpartum and it only seems to be getting worse.

Thanks ladies! :)

    Get some blood drawn to check your blood sugar levels and check for anemia. Hope you feel better soon.

    Yes, I second having your Hemoglobin checked. Mine was 10 when leaving the hospital and I was put on Ferrous Sulfate. It helped but I still get dizzy intermittantly. And keep up with your water intake.

    Yes, but mine was due to low blood pressure.
