Dizziness after childbirth, anyone else?

[strawberrycake]

My LO is 11 days old and over the course of the day dizziness has set in. It started off as feeling a little swimmy when standing and now I feel sick and faint. I'm scared to pick up baby as so unstable/ worried I could go over. Is this a normal stage? Will it pass or should I get it checked out?

Northernlurker- It was freaky but thanks for posting. I'm glad I've got knowledge of this illness now.

Hope things are still improving strawberry cake

Lol- I think everything was explained, unfortunately it was whilst I was contracting! I got bits like 'mmmmm..heart rate..mmm..high...tachy-something...mmmm...blood pressure...diamorphine....mumble.....need it.....stabilise for theatre.....pyrexic still...'

Probably good I missed most of it.

Oh, and thank you I'm perking up loads. Guess you get flu at any time.

Glad you feeling better! Take it easy tho (well, as easy as poss with newborn....!)

Hi all. Since i have almost all of you all symptoms and i AM diagnosed after years! of suffering- i now know that
Most likley most of you have a spinal csf leak. it is one of the undiagnosed condition, drs are unknowlagble about it and it takes years, if at all to diagnose it ans the suffering is everyday almost
please watch dr. Ian carrol explaing this condition and then read everything about it.
Please know that even if you Dont have a headach it dosnt mean its not that

then read as much as you can here- spinalcsfleak.org/ www.csfleak.info/ i am sure some of u here have it and don't let drs tell u the imaging are normal- cause normal dos'nt mean u dont have it. there are only 3 specialized drs in the world that are dealing with this professionally- Dr. Ian Carroll- stanford Dr. Linda Leithe- Duke Dr. schievnik- Cedar sinai california Please let me know if this info has helped you and if you need more info let me know

That's an alarmist post, CSFleak. How did you find this zombie thread?
