Hormones and just not feeling your self

So I’m 7 weeks postpartum and still really don’t feel good or myself, I sometimes feel nauseous and dizzy and just generally don’t feel back to normal. Did anyone else take a while to feel back to “normal”

It definitely took time for me to feel back to normal. So many things going on after having a baby. I eventually had a few things tested like my iron, to make sure everything was going back to normal.

That happened to me after I had my first kiddo. I later realized that I had PPD so that definitely contributed to how I felt physically. I didn't realize how much it can slow down your recovery.
I also found out that I was pretty significantly anemic. I wasn't nauseated but I was dizzy and out of breath all the time. Iron and B12 supplements helped a lot with that.
