Suggest Remedies For Weight Loss And Dizziness After Delivery
I am 12 weeks postpartum, and I feel like I'm losing too much weight. I started my pregnancy at 115 pounds, and delivered at 148. I now weigh 107. I also have periods where I feel lightheaded/shaky/anxious/zoned out. I am exclusively breastfeeding so I figured this is why I continue to lose weight. I've been eating desert a lot more and eating other high calorie foods, but I continue to lose weight. Should I see my dr or just try and eat more?
