Brenda What types of symptoms is this mom experiencing? Heart palpitations (feeling like hear heart is beating too fast or "skipping" a beat) could indicate a thyroid disorder. It's not uncommon for women to have postpartum thyroiditis Here is a snippet from a good thyroid site: http://www.thyroid-info.com/articles/postpartum.htm "Postpartum thyroiditis typically follows a pattern: at first, you become hyperthyroid, and might feel breathless, nervous, mentally confused, have unexplained weight loss, or trouble sleeping. This phase usually appears anytime between one and four months after the birth of the baby."
