Dizziness

btcruiserlove

Im almost 3 weeks post partum and have been really dizzy the last couple days. I am taking my vitamins with extra iron. Any ideas...should I be worried? Anyone else?

i was told by my dr that i should expect dizziness postpartum (or at least be prepared for it) even though i haven't had any. he said its because your body is working so hard, plus hormonal changes, added on to lack of sleep & no time to eat for yourself. if dizziness leads to faint feeling or fainting then you should call because it could be anemia or another issue

I've had a lot of head rushes when I stand sometimes. Usually they are on days I know I haven't eaten or drank enough yet. Make sure you are finding time to eat something, even if it is just snacks all day long.

I was dizzy yesterday but I chalked it up to DD nursing ALL DAY LONG and me not eating/drinking nearly enough to keep up. I ended up with a nasty headache at the end of the day, so definitely be mindful of your own needs.

Yes! Mine started around 1 week postpartum.  It's better now but not gone.  I've read it happens a lot, but the feeling is very uneasy and scary to me!
