Was your immune system shot after having dc?

[Whenisitmysleepytime]

Dd is 8mo and I seem to catch every bug going.

Is it normal for your immune system to take so long to recover after pregnancy?

I am heading into week 4 or a saga of virus, tonsillitis, earache and feel lousy!

Oh yes. My DD is 2yo and my immune system is still shot. I get every cold going, and take forver to get over each one. I've had a cold for about 3 months now. Rubbish. But DD is worth it!

Ds1, yes. Ds2, no, quite the opposite.

Get your fbc and thyroid done. COmmon for them to act up after birth.

Yes, definitely. 6 years on, it's back to normal

Yes I reckon It was about a year before I got back to normal and even for year after that colds in particular worse than usual.

Yes, last Christmas I was ill for about 5 weeks. Doc said it sounded like I'd had a series of viruses. It was awful.

Gastro-bug at the moment. Only ever time I've had that before was after dc1. The winter after I returned to work each time. Not nice.

Doctor recently told me that it can take a long time for immune system to recover.

My Mum would prescribe Manuka honey for your ongoing saga.

I'm so glad it's not just me! I started to worry I had some sort of 'house' style mystery illness!
I now have an infection in my wisdom tooth which the dentist thought might have been caused by the nasty bacteria responsible for my previous lurgy. So more antibiotics and NO drinking till new year for me!

My dd is 9 weeks old and I've had either a cold or flu since she was born :( was beginning to wonder what was wrong with me!
