Anyone else dizzy?

mamashan12 · January 2014

I'm 4 weeks PP and I've been getting dizzy/nauseous spells. Is anyone else experiencing this? I tried Dr. Google but there are a lot of random answers out there. I'm debating whether or not to bug my OB or if this is to be expected.

Haven't had that at all. Are you eating enough? I've read we're supposed to eat at least 1800 calories per day. Either way, I'd call my OB.

I've been pretty good about snacking between meals. Breastfeeding leaves me pretty hungry. I'm just overall not feeling great.

Yeah, I would call my OB if I were you. Sorry I'm not more help. Hope everything is ok!

I'll be 4 weeks pp on Wednesday. I've had occasional dizzy spells also some days are worse than others. I have no idea if its normal or not.

My OB said I was anemic. Have you had your iron levels tested lately?

I get dizzy sometimes at night, but I think it's from the fatigue. No nausea with it though. Make sure you're drinking enough water too!

Are you getting enough protein? How are you sleeping?

I've been making sure I have protein with every meal because I know it's good for the LO and my supply. I've pretty much not been sleeping though. I'm not good about taking naps when she does.

@penelopemaria, now that you mention it I'm wondering if I could be anemic. Prepregnancy I was always borderline.

I just put a call into my OB's office so I'll see what he says. Thanks ladies.
