Rundown post pregnancy

[Chicci1]

Hi all, am six months post partum and just so run down. Since about a month after babys arrival I have been sick every two weeks - heavy colds, bad throats etc and it's really wearing me down. I'm eating well and exercising. Have made a gp appointment for the end of this week but just wondering whether anyone has been through anything similar?

Maybe your iron level is low, makes you more prone to bugs.

Maybe also thyroid and Vit D checks?

I was like this. I was anaemic, and iron did help, but to be honest, it took about a year for em to get back to full health both times. Exercise and a high protein diet helped a lot last time.
