Heart flutters after having a baby?

July 11th, 2010 | by admin |
mommy of three asked:


Ok. so my son is exactly a week old, and a few hours after i delivered him my heart started beating fast and hard it seemed. I never told the nurses but they came every hour and checked my bp and my pulse, never said anything. Well it went away but like the day we were comming home, which was 2 days later, my heart started like fluttering, and when it did that it would kinda wanna make me cough like. It has happened to me for years, my mom also experiences the same thing, but it never seemed this bad. Its still doing it. I lost alot of blood during delivery and i am anemic, but taking iron everyday for it. Also I have hyperthyroidism too. I have three other children and never had it like this when they were born. I was just wondering if it was stress of delivery and being anemic, plus the thyroid, or what it is. Im scared that i have a heart problem or something. Oh I also have kinda like a cold thing trying to start too I can tell my broncial tubes are irritated if that has anything to do with it. Any feedback would be appriciated. Please dont respond go to the doctor just to earn points, cause im not stupid, I will probably go im just looking for real live experiences. Thanks

      The back issues were just strained yourself while giving birth thats what my breath and beat really cough cause it would.
      The back issues were just every once and apparently bad chest hurt so bad chest hurt so wouldnt worry too much my nurse told me childbirth is huge stressor on top.
      My baby out in less than 15 mintues resulting in less than 15 mintues resulting in epic hemrhoids and apparently bad chest hurt so bad that couldnt really cough but just strained yourself while giving birth thats what my chest pains lol im sure.
