Iron takes upto 6months to build back up in your system so if you was low in pregnancy you probably still low now. I would phone your nurse line if you have one and ask there advice..
Low blood pressure during first PP period
Hey everyone I’m 6 weeks pp and I got my first period which is a little heavy. I feel like I’m losing a lot of blood which is normal, I know and especially since it’s my first one in forever it seems that way. Anyways sometimes during this period I feel a little light headed almost not really anywhere to where it bothers me literally just enough to notice it. I checked my blood pressure twice and the first reading was 98/66 and the second was 101/71 which is low for me. I’m usually around 115-120/69-80. Is this normal? Just because of blood loss? I’m still taking my prenatal so I’m getting iron, but this is completely freaking me out and feel like I should go to the ER. This is 3 of the period... first day was super light though so really it’s just been today and yesterday where I’ve been bleeding heavy.. please help!

Well it’s been normal the rest of the day, I wonder if it had anything to do with my blood sugar being low because I hadn’t ate all morning, once I finally ate I felt better and it seems to be staying normal! Weird. Probably a mix of that and the period/iron

It’s fine hun. I have a calcium deficiency and also suffered from low iron with all 3 my pregnancies. So I know a lot about vitamins/minerals your body needs lots of years dealing with my own medical problems. 😊 I would go get yourself check out tho hun. 👍🏻 hope you feel better soon

I didn’t know that, thank you! I hope I didn’t sound rude, just worried!
