Dizzy spells?

Has anyone else continued to have dizzy spells after delivery? Gabriel is 11 days old, and by the evening, I am still having so many dizzy spells that I can't safely carry him around the house. Has this persisted after delivery for anyone else? And if so, how long? I am having some sinus headaches also, but the dizziness seems much more connected to how much activity I attempt in a day than to the headaches at all.

Hi
I had some dizzy spells post partum due to having low iron. Have you checked that your iron levels are ok?

Congratulations on your precious baby. Also, congratulations on no more hg.

A full blood count is a good idea. You don't mention being on any meds, but if you are, could they be the cause of the dizzy spells. Also, I've often wondered if some of the hg meds are addictive so that my body was dizzy afterwards. . .I was very dizzy after my m/c, but doctors blamed the Effexor RX which was prescribe for ppd.

Hope you find some answers.
