I had my baby dec 10th and everything went fine, I came home fine, since yesterday every once in awhile more so in morning I feel really light headed sometimes even dizzy. Is this normal? I dont remember this with my daughter. I also have lots of pressure in my face like sinuses. Could this be causing the dizzyness?

Sinus problems are a big cause of dizzyness you may have a sinus infection, i get them often and get very lightheaded too. Hormones could also be a factor the same way as they are during pregnancy. You really should get checked out by a doctor or midwife as having dizzy spells when you have a tiny baby are not good!

The dizziness could be due to the congestion, especially if your ears are affected. Post-pg dizziness could be due to blood loss or lack of sleep. It never hurts to call you OB-GYN or family doctor. I usually ask to speak to a nurse to see if I should come in or not. With the holidays coming up, it be better to see the Dr. now rather than waiting. If there is something going on, you can nip it in the bud. If there isn't anything going on, you can focus on everything else you have going on.

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to call your physician. It could be something just as simple as a sinus infection, but you could also be having too much blood loss after delivery. Just make sure you are not standing up too fast. You wouldn't want to pass out and hurt yourself or the little one. Good Luck and Congrats!

It could be our sinuses or it could be something as simple as lack of sleep. I suffered a lot of dizzy spells after my second child. If it becomes a problem consult your doctor. It may be an ear infection or even vertigo.

You might have a sinus infection, or an ear infection. Check with your doctor. I found that I got dizzy, or my eye sight went funny on me after delivery, and drinking lots of fluids helped, since it wasn't an infection.

It could be blood pressure so talk to the doctor, but it sounds like sinus trouble. Call and ask if you can take an over the counter sinus product or if he can see you and maybe prescribe something.

Could be low blood pressure, could be ear infection. Keep up the fluids and go see doc.
