Normal: These are normal post artum symptoms. Make sure that you are eating a healthy diet, drinking plenty of non-caffeinated beverages, and elevate your feet above the head. If your symptoms persists--especially the "hyper-emotional" feelings you described, you should call your ob. Most of these symptoms do not persist beyond 6 wks postpartum.

No energy: First, check you thyroid. Then talk to your obstetricin or a psychotherapist. You may be suffering from post partum depression.
