Hi, I’m looking for some support please as a new mum. In the last year I’ve undergone ivf treatment and was lucky that my first round was successful and I now have my beautiful son, Gabriel he’s 6 weeks tomorrow. For the last 6 days I have been feeling what I can only describe as lightheaded and like a motion in my head, like when you get off a boat and still feel like your body is moving. No headaches/pains etc but the lightheaded spells is making me anxious to do anything with my baby as I keep feeling like I’m going to faint. I went the hospital they did blood pressure said it was fine and a pin prick that apparently checks for low iron and that was fine. I then went to the doctors the following day to get a second opinion, he couldn’t figure out what it was, ruled out vertigo and said it could be my hormones. I started bleeding about 4 days ago a little bit of brown and now bright red the last 2 days so assuming this is now my period, same time around I’ve starting feeling this light headedness.
im getting more sleep than I was the first few weeks a broken 6 hours but I’m really happy with that with a newborn & I have a partner who is hands on too but when he goes to work I’m left looking after the baby and I feel like I can’t even stand up to change him properly without going lightheaded.
did anyone have anything similar? I don’t even know if this is my period but assume so as I haven’t bled for 3/4 weeks since the lochia phase.
any advice will be welcomed thank you. X
