Good Day Wise Ones,
I too, have had a mom complain of extreme tiredness. Her baby is 31/2 months
old. She claims that her thinking is mostly affected. Someone mentioned to
her that she might have postpartum depression, she and I discussed that and
we both agree that she was not depressed. She is just feeling really tired
and finds her thinking a bit off.
I mentioned to have her thyroid checked and her iron levels. But we also
discussed  what she has done since the birth. She had a cesarean birth,
(after laboring and pushing for 3 hours), she has a three year old, she went
back to work when baby was four weeks old and works full time. They put
their house on the market, bought a new one and moved. I suggested that her
body was telling her to slow down and let the healing and recuperation
continue.

Any ideas? My gut is telling me that she pushed herself, and that would have
a dramatic affect on her healing..which does not happen overnight. Any input
would be greatly appreciated!
Warmly,
Mary Anderson, Doula
