Any suggestions please!

Hoping you guys may have some suggestions...

DS is nearly 5 months old, I had a great birth, BF is going brillinatly. But I am so so exhausted. DS sleeps quite well sometimes, but at the moment is waking a lot at night for feeds, think he may be ready for some rice cereal. He has just got his first tooth also.
I have been eating a lot, I don't think I've put much weight on really. Still have post PG belly etc. I get to the point where my vision is blurred, sometimes double, and I have to focus really hard to not pass out. I have a history of low blood pressure, but the last time I fainted was when I was 10 weeks PG. When I feel as though I have low blood sugar I'll have juice etc sometimes this fixes it othertimes it doesn't. I haven't felt like this prior to PG with DS. Is it just from BF? I am really struggling with low energy today, feel as though I could sleep for days...

Can anyone offer some ideas? Is this common for women post birth etc?
Thank you rach x

have you had your iron checked??? or maybe vitamin B and D

:hug: the fatigue is hard to deal with

I was going to say iron too, definately get that checked out, are you taking any preg/bfing supplements?

also get your blood pressure checked out, I dont think there is a lot they can do about it but at least you will know if that is cause.

Definitely sounds like you should go to your GP. Better safe than sorry when you are trying to look after your little one as well as yourself. Take it easy.

Thanks everyone for your help. I have been on blackmores gold for ages (like about 3 years) I had a little break from them after DS was born - I just kept forgetting to take them, I have been back on them now for about 3 days. Think I'll make an appointment just to be sure! Thanks again rach xx
