Unfortunately I'm one of those unlucky people whose periods don't stop when breastfeeding.
Since having DS 6 months ago they've become really heavy and I also feel extremely tired, dizzy and lightheaded for about 2 days.
Despite this they actually hurt less
Previously they were always light, but quite painful so I'd just take painkillers and carry on as normal.
At the moment I'm struggling to function due to the dizziness and tiredness.
I mentioned it to the GP when I went about something else and she said breastfeeding causes it...is this actually true? Is there anything I can take to sort myself out?
