Told it's just because you're a new mum? It’s just the sleep deprivation? But you don't feel like yourself and you know deep down something isn't right?
REQUEST your thyroid antibodies (TPO, Tg, TRAb) are checked, along side a full thyroid panel (TSH, T3, T4)
Recently in clinic I have been picking up elevated thyroid antibodies weekly, in postpartum mums who come to me not feeling like themselves and are told everything looks "fine".
Pregnancy is both a stress and immune event for your body, making you more susceptible to thyroid changes postpartum.
When picked up early enough these can be reduced through dietary changes and key nutrient support, minimising the risk of long term autoimmune thyroid conditions. Managing thyroid antibodies and your thyroid function will support your long term hormonal health dictating your cycle regulating, further pregnancy outcomes, weight changes and mental health.
