Dizzy after pumping?

in Parenting after a Loss

Like need to grab the walls when I'm walking back to my cube dizzy.

I didn't pump much at home, usually once a day. Now I'm pumping 3 or 4 times. I am so dizzy right after I finish. I almost feel faint.

    Just make sure you eat and drink enough around the time you pump.  This helped me when I was feeling lightheaded.

    I have never had that, but PP makes a good point. Are you eating and drinking enough?

    I would suggest making sure that right before you pump you drink a couple glasses of water and then another glass once you're done. If I haven't had enough to drink, I can feel my heart start racing and I get a bit dizzy while I pump.

    It always happens to me if I haven't eaten for awhile before I go pump.  Try to have a snack... crackers, juice, some nuts....just so you have something in your stomach.

    Yikes. I had just eaten a large bacon cheeseburger and fries about an hour before I pumped this time and had a 32 oz Nalgene over the course of the hour before as well and had the worst dizzy experience yet.

    Today I have eaten a bowl of cereal with milk, a Chobani yogurt, and the burger/fries and had about 96 oz of water.

    This is your first week, you'll adjust.  My dizzy spells are much less frequent than they were a few weeks ago. 

    Now I want a bacon cheeseburger.

    That's kind of crazy to me. I'd call my OB maybe if it keeps up? Or an LC? I don't know.  I haven't had that at all. And yes, I want a burger now also.
