Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

Given that you are pale, weak and there were concerns about your blood counts during your pregnancy, you are almost certainly anemic (low blood counts). This should be worked up and you need to seek medical care. If you are in the US, then you likely qualify for care under the new Affordable Care Act. If not, and you are not feeling well, then you need to be seen in an Urgent Care setting.

I hope that this helps and good luck!
