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."
