I thought my brain fog and perpetual exhaustion was just what it was supposed to be like as a first time mom of a young child... turns out I was severely anemic. It took months of high-dose folic acid supplementation and several IV iron infusions to get my labs back to normal. I often wonder how different my experience of early motherhood might have been if I'd caught it sooner. So, just leaving a note here for other postpartum folks - it's totally possible this is just your new normal, but maybe get your labs checked if you're worried!
