Periods PP

I’m 8 months PP and my periods haven’t been so bad up until the last two. I’m starting to feel lightheaded and just not right when I’m on. Does anyone else relate?

I've not felt right for weeks and just come on today. I had my first pp period when baby was 12 weeks and this is the second one I've had. The body is weird haha. I'm going to call my GP anyway as I've been having health concerns for a while now and with going back to work I don't want to feel rubbish anymore x

@Katie Hey! It sucks doesn’t it 😓 I’m such a worrier also, I’ve been to the GP and having some tests. Hope you feel better soon!

My first two were fine but the last two have been horrific. I have endometriosis so it could be down to this, but I’ve never had periods like it before. I’ve been bleeding so heavily. I have read it can be due to iron, which makes sense as I’ve EBF for 8 months which can deplete your iron. Probably should go to the doctors!

@Emily thinking of you! It’s so strange. I’m usually ok but this one especially has wiped me out 😓

@Emily you could take iron supplements but check with pharmacist first as too much iron is also not good for health. I had to have them in pregnancy because of low iron x
