Your body has just gone through a major change and you have also suffered significant blood loss during delivery, along with all the hormonal changes that happen post delivery. And breast feeding also causes you to burn calories/energy. And definitely there’s lack of sleep while taking care of a new born. So all these factors make you feel tired and mentally and physically drained.
Next Steps
Make sure to continue with iron and calcium supplements along with high protein diet. Make sure to always be well hydrated and you can slowly start exercising/yoga to help with muscle strengthening and general well being, once you have been given clearance by your gynaecologist.
