Breastfeeding/ dizzy
Hey girls!!
I’m looking for some advice or to see if anyone else has had similar.
I’m currently 6 weeks pp, currently breastfeeding and expressing for my son. Over the last couple of days I’ve been getting little dizzy turns like could be walking through the shop and feel dizzy or just doing day to day things. I’ve also been getting wee rushes of feeling nauseous and been getting the odd cramp when breastfeeding / expressing.
Has anyone else had this?
Is it normal in postpartum?

No, could be a normal virus, vitamin deficiency, vertigo or heart related. Would suggest seeing the GP
I had dizziness and my midwife said it’s low BP combined with lack of hydration and eating enough for breastfeeding. Get some electrolytes and stock up on snacks!
I have been getting dizzy spells too but only when standing up or getting out of bed. I was going to mention it at my 6 week appointment.
