AF returns - extreme nausea

Hi, AF has visited me a few times since I've been breastfeeding, but now at 12 months, she's back but this time she brought 2 days of extreme nausea and lethargy before I started bleeding and then it's on again today when the bleed has started. It's not particularly heavy at all. I had morning sickness for the first trimester but nothing like this. THis is way way worse than being pregnant.

Luckily I wasn't working two of those days - because I could barely move. I have had to force myself to eat - I just cannot stand the thought of food and my mouth and body seems repulsed by anything I tried to eat - it's so extreme!. I am still doing 2 breastfeeds a day and have only just been able to cope - very tiring.

The week before all of this I had been hit with the 12 hour non-stop vomiting virus - I was wondering if it was just that - or could this be iron deficiency? I tried sea sickness bands but they didn't seem to do anything. Anyone else experienced this?

I havent hun, but go and get yourself checked out by a doctor. You may have a virus and need some antibiotics. Dont push yourself too much as you may get worse. I hope you are feeling better soon. :hug:
