When to take a tired new mum blood test?
If you have given birth recently and have been feeling excessively tired ever since it is important that you check your nutrition levels. The cause of your fatigue may be a lack of vitamin B12, Vitamin D or Iron. The deficiency of these can cause lightheadedness, dizziness, insomnia and even depression or anxiety in some cases. Post-partum fatigue is medically recognised to be a sign of post-natal depression.
Experts Opinion
"Often during birth, a mother may lose a lot of blood, leading to iron deficiency anaemia. Other causes of being weary and tired can be low vitamin B12 or even low vitamin D.
This test will help you get a picture of these important minerals and vitamin levels which, if low, may contribute to tiredness as a new mum."
