scared :-(

three_cats_n_a_baby

Had blood tests today, 12 weeks pp and so. Dizzy all the time, chest pains feel faint, etc. They think i am anemic but scared its something else. I think just anemic cos turned down blood transfusion at his birth cos i had enough after a difficult labour. Just scared of the pain Hz chest and back more than anything. Will get results Monday wish me luck!

I'm ebf and was feeling the same way last week with the addition of headaches. My mom is a nurse and wanted to take my blood pressure. It was 88/70. VERY low. She said i need to be drinking a lot more water because ebf was dehydrating me and my fluids were low. I thought i was drinking enough but since I've almost doubled my water intake I've felt a lot better. So it might not be low blood pressure in your case but it could be a possibility.

I had a blood transfusion after a very long complicated very bloody (sorry if thats tmi) birth w my first and i have to tell ya it really made me feel so much better. However, i lost so much blood i kept passing out. Not too fun. Are u taking iron? I hope u get some answers and i hope its nothin much. Good luck. Hope u feel better SOON!!!

I was on iron but doc said i didn't need it after two weeks but didn't test my blood. I got some more from Another doctor but they ran out about a month ago, should have gone got more but hate needles After childbirth too so was being stupid about it! The reason i turned down blood transfusion was cos i had been in hospital for weeks had so many problem and tests then finally had baby then they took canula about hand and about ten mins later asks about transfusion i had just had enough and literally couldn't take any more but wish i had now! Thank ill:-)

Ok just back from doctor they said iron is low but not dangerously low but something shown up in liver but need not go get that checked again for 3 months so can't be bad. Said i am sleep deprived and dehydrated and that i should get my eyes checked, not sure why tho! She said i may need to change to formula instead of breast so i sleep more but i don't want to formula:-C

Hugs! Glad its nothing major, could you possibly introduce formula just on a night huni? Xx

How is formula goinna help you sleep more? Then you actually have to get up get a bottle make it/ heat it then stay awake the whole time while feeding...and with breast feeding you can lay tummy to tummy baby can nurse and you can nap/ sleep.

Yeah she said could just do formula at night i guess cos it fills them up more in theory so he would wake less? Just seems a waste when i am makin so much milk!

And yeah although i wake up every 2 hours ish at night to feed he only has 5 mins then back to sleep. Think i am just gonna try increase the gap between feeding before starting formula so maybe fat more less often?
