I have been feeling very off lately...

Susan

My son is a little over two weeks old and today I suddenly felt very off. I woke up with chills but my body felt hot. I had a c section and my whole body from my abdomen down was in a ton of pain. I took my temperature and I don’t have a fever but I am having trouble concentrating and staying focused all day. I felt incredibly lethargic.

Has anyone else experienced this? My hubby thinks it could be sleep deprivation but I can tell he is worried too.

UPDATE: I saw my doctor and yes it is due to the hormone dump. She said to try and get some more sleep and drink more water and get some electrolytes in. It definitely helped and I’m feeling much better. The pain was from staying still for too long and everything got stiff when I tried to move quickly again. Thank you everyone!
