Is feeling FREEZING cold something that happens after you have had a baby?

[Enid]

I keep having periods of being FREEZING, goosebumps, chattering teeth, having to rush to put sweatshirts on, wrap up in blankets etc.

suerly this can't be normal?

yes, I think so Enid
I certainly did
you have just lost a little internal heater (baby and placenta)

Yes, happened to me too.

Agree with harpsi.

I always feel very cold if I'm tired or run down, and I'd imagine you're not quite back up to 12 uninterrupted hours sleep a night yet

it is so bizarre

the heating is on and I am sitting here in dhs fleece and thick socks

lovely, wrap up enid. get some hot chocolate inside you and a hottie under your blanky

hmmmm, sounds v fashionable your get up

How is little baby Bea?

that sound fab

have just remembered I bought Heat today too

bye all

enid, not being funny or anything but i felt like that for a whole morning then developed breast pain, the mw dropped in and she said i had mastitis

youve no other symptoms have you?

[bea is an utter poppet and has just had a massive feed then done that 'drunk' face, rolling eyes, flickering mad smile ]

well I have sore bosoms but dont feel particularly unwell

I like that little gummy mouth they make when they fall off the boob asleep

RIGHT!

No more talk of ickle babies, off home to my 2 girls

well im sure you are fine, just make sure you take care of yourself

(look for a hot red patch on boobs if you start to feel unwell)

and i remember so well that drunk look - loved it and will remember it forever (getting broody by the second)

Keep an eye on your temperature - the coldest I felt was when I had a temp of 39 when DS2 was about 10 days old - mastitis.

I wondered about mastitis too - felt like the beginnings of flu when I had it. Hope it isn't...

.................and the little tongue pokes out, their eyes close slowly with the longest lashes you have ever seen............... and you wonder with amazement at the size of your nips
