[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not normal. Could be birth trauma/postpartum PTSD, anxiety, sleep deprivation, sepsis, or preeclampsia. Go see your OB immediately, and get a full work up. Also get a referral
To a perinatal psychiatrist. The shakiness and pelvic floor injuries make me lean to postpartum PTSD (I had this - could not sleep also) but you want to rule out medical issues first.[/quote]

All lined up.  I will say the shakiness has all but left.  Now mostly exhaustion and nausea.[/quote]

OP, please make sure that they run a full thyroid panel on you.  I went hypothyroid after the birth of my first DD.  It is often overlooked, but thyroid issues after pregnancy/delivery are common.[/quote]
I recently was evaluated for anxiety. The psychiatrist tested TSH, vit B12, vit D, and ferritin. 3/4 were abnormal. The ferritin was extremely low. I complained to numerous OBs and family doctors about heavy menstrual bleeding and all I got was iT's NoRmAl!!!!! [/quote]
