I’d be going to the emergency room
Could be late one set eclampsia, or a blood clot
The dr said it was none of these as I was going to have a MRI done but then they didn’t do it as they didn’t think it was that 😢 and everything come back normal when they checked me
I'd be getting a second opinion. Are you staying well hydrated? I have a 4 week old and I get awful headaches and feel terrible if I don't drink at least 3 litres a day
Go to the Emergency Department.
Ring the maternity ward at your hospital. It could be low iron or something similar, or it could be more serious. Don't take no for an answer.
Did you lose a lot of blood during birth : caesar? I lost half my blood (everything turned out fine) with bleeding after my caesar 6months ago. I felt dizzy and fuzzy at times due to the blood loss. I took tablets and one day early on I drank 6L of water.
In saying all this I would also want another opinion. Present to an emergency room if you can’t get in anywhere. I feel sorry that you are going through this when you should be in a newborn bliss bubble with your family. X
No it’s not normal go to ER ASAP
You could be bleeding go and get updated bloods on your iron levels. Hosp discharged next with i it tell me I lost so much blood. I felt awful for weeks until I got my discharge letter then realised why. My dr was furious the hospital didn’t let me know and put me in Iron ASAP
I didn't get this after my two births but I now get these exact symptoms during my period, I even fell pregnant n had major episodes to the point the doctors thought I was having mini strokes. I ended up having a miscarriage and still get them during or around my period. I have had an MRI, CT, ECG, ECHO etc. Everything u can think of and no results to date. They still can't tell my what's going on 😟 I'm starting to think it's a hormonal imbalance due to 'when they seem to happen'
