Julia • Sat, Jan 19

I’m 5 weeks postpartum am for the past few days have been so cold, my toes and fingers can’t get warm even if I’m bundled up for hours, along with an awful migraine on top of it all, is this normal?

My doctor said its normal lol. I have this issue but im only 2 weeks pp i have felt so terribly cold since baby was born like to the point my teeth chatter i need an extra blanket at night and stay close to hubby hes a heater lol. Doctor said that theres a hormone that keeps us extra warm when pregnant and now its gone so our body is adjusting plus the extra heat from cqrrying an extra 25 lbs while pregnant is now gone. So if you dont have a fever it might just be this.
