Hey as you know by now I am also in same boat but mine was normal delivery. ..
Harmonal changes do occur for 1 year post delivery ( even weight reduction) until your body is completely rid of pregnancy harmones. ...

As far as milk supply with periods that is quite the common as your baby is 8 months it's not case that she is going hungry so don't stress yourself. ...

Check your iron and b12 levels...may be you should increase the dose

 

All these would be there until, the hormones flush out.
Would definitely take more a year...you might seem to get irritated often too.
That's fine... Find some me time..join a gym.
I was working then, it was hard for me to be at home on my maternity leave. I become normal after I joined office again...

 

Hi, I went thru most of dis during my delivery too.

I gained so much weight n was moody.
Period was erratic. Either nothing for a few months or all at d same time for days.
Lost my skin tone, got dots on my face, lost hair, either skin was oily or dry. Yes milk, dem no milk. Pain here, pain der. No energy. Der was only extremes of everything.

First I went to a gyne to clear internally, get regular periods (getting dis regular fixes a lot of small to big health problems), rite vitamins n all dat.
Wen u feel weak during ur periods, rest n eat healthy n energising food.
Den dermatologist to clear d dots, get d rite creams n medicines to fix hair n skin.
Milk, try with the help of a gyne or home remedies. If still nothing works, it's ok. Don't fret too much. Happens.
Ur weight, look for a nutrition n follow der health plan. It will give u energy n lose weight.
Also add more fun activities like Dancing with ur lil one in ur arms, dey love it. Also Take d stairs. Walk for ur groceries. Once u r comfy enuf, u can start yoga or gym.
Watch movies / tv series, listen to music, read books to distract urself n to elevate ur mood. I used to watch / read a lot of comedy genre movies / books so dat I can laugh n get into a positive mode.

I did all of dese things to get out of it n it worked. It's not easy but definitely doable bcoz getting into d mind space can itself b half d battle.
Many of us ladies goes thru this in der own different ways. We jus need to set our mind n go for it. Segregate each problem separately n resolve one by one. U will b bak to ur old n even a better self in no time.

 

Talk with u r gynic each bodies immunity is different, ....have lots of vit c and iron if you ate vegetarian Te b 12th ...everything depends on your body composition

 

Excuse my typing...it's the best I could with baby in my hands

 

Hi,
I am an ayurvedic physician from kerala. According to your symptoms your pitta is aggravated and hence medicines required to stabilise pitta dosha has to be taken. As you are not lactating you can take ayurvedic medicines. U can take kashayams, lehyams to stabilise the condition. You also need to reduce spicy, pungent , sour and salty foods. Include buttermilk in your daily diet once daily. Start with mild exercises too.
