Not feeling well.
Unpregnant?
Me12Guest ·
Hi mums,
Quick question: since I went back to work in mid-June, I've been experiencing various symptoms... blurry vision, dizziness, palpitations in my throat, feeling like I'm trembling internally in the mornings, sweating, shortness of breath... emotional, quick to anger... I just had a week of vacation and still felt really awful. I wasn't exactly pleasant company for my partner and kids... I gave birth in January and she's such a beautiful girl. But everything feels like too much... my cycle returned fairly well, just a bit shorter than before. I was supposed to be in my fertile window last week... could this be related, hormonally? Or is this depression/stress/burnout?
I'm seeing my GP next Wednesday, appointment is booked.
But are there any other mums here who recognize this, 6 months postpartum? I read something about a hormone dip around that time during the postpartum period? Who else has experienced this and how long did it last?
Thanks

Your description of your symptoms could be anything; everything you've listed could be part of the cause of your symptoms. However, we can't determine that based on what you've told us so far. It's great that you have an appointment with your GP; they'll probably be able to help you better. Reading this, I think you should definitely take it easy at work, even if it's just to get some rest. Maybe then everything won't seem so overwhelming, and you'll feel better.
You seem to have a lot on your plate right now. And bringing a human into the world and keeping them alive is no small feat, especially if you've got a few more running around too. -

What did the GP say? I definitely recognize some of your symptoms... our daughter is almost 6 months old -

She had blood tests done and they checked a lot of things. Everything was fine. According to her, I need to get my life back in balance.
I was feeling better again, but since my last period, it's the same as before. Especially that I can't see well.
