I know that one of the first signs of my Graves' Disease (hyperthyroidism) was exhaustion after physical activities and you can get postpartum thyroiditis 1-4 months after baby is born. I would mention it to your doctor and see if they can test your thyroid levels just in case. </p> Mrs. Chipmunk on "anybody have more exhaustion AFTER the first 3-4 months?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-have-more-exhaustion-after-the-first-3-4-months#post-1337980 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 15:11:21 +0000 Mrs. Chipmunk 1337980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So 5 weeks post partum I went back dancing. I danced for 1-2 hours a day, 2-4 days a week and felt great! Now at the five month mark, I take one easy one hour class and I'm completely exhausted and need to go to bed ASAP. Afterward I feel dehydrated no matter how much I drink. I drink till my stomach is full and bloated, and I'm still thirsty, and if I don't top up with gatorade and coconut water, I wake up 8 hours later with a huge migraine. I don't know if it's because my baby is nursing more volume wise and I have to lose more fluid that way than I used to before 5 months, or what is going on. Has anyone else experienced a fitness regression post-partum?? </p>
