My baby is almost 5 months now and my body still feels all over the place, mood swings, hair fall, irregular cycle. I just feel like my hormones never settled back. What helped you ladies postpartum?
Breastfeeding itself shifts hormones a lot, so some changes are natural in this phase. Nourishing food, hydration and rest helped me slowly feel like myself again. Be patient and kind to your body, it just did something amazing.
Honestly the postpartum hormone rollercoaster is real, I cried over little things for weeks. Give your body time, eat well, rest when baby sleeps. If you feel really low or it doesnt settle, please talk to your doctor, there is no shame in it.
My thyroid went haywire after delivery so I learnt to get my levels checked regularly. Dont assume it will fix on its own, a simple test tells a lot. Follow up with your doctor and adjust as they advise.
