You're BMI (body mass index) is about 18, which means that you're medically underweight. I strongly advise seeing a doctor as there may well be an underlying medical problem. It might be something as simple as a vitamin B12 deficiency but it could also be a symptom of something far more serious, such as cancer. (I'm not trying to worry you, as there are loads of other possible reasons for your loss of weight, but I do want to urge you seek expert opinion as soon as possible).

Before you get in a panic were you that slim before you had a baby? If so then that is just how you are, you see woman of your proportions all the time. It's normal for your boobs to reduce after pregnancy because they have lost their tone from being enlarged. Look at the size of most celebrities, they're not all ill
TBH, comments like that about cancer really annoy me. There are loads of issues to consider before that.
You had a baby recently, run around (like I do all day as a workaholic)
work too. You are just as likely to be a bit run down, and probably need a build up, maybe with some additions to diet.
See your doc, take some time out to relax .. and don't worry! : )
All the best with it.

Have you always been slim Isharp? If so then don't worry, that'll just make you lose more weight! You are underweight for your height but there's not a lot the docs will do unless you become seriously thin I'm afraid. I find it hard to gain weight & I think some of them think it's as simple as just eating more pies!
Don't let people scare you with things like cancer. Its best to go chat to someone either a GP or nurse not so much about any potential health issues but about the way you're feeling as well. Lets not forget if something gets you down it can have a knock-on effect and you might end up really unhappy. Its best to try and nip it in the bud. Anyone who makes nasty comments just tell them to sod off, they're no friends of yours if they're being horrid. Concentrate on you and baby and make sure you look after yourself! Your BMI is only just under so don't panic but do get some help to boost your confidence hun.
