I've searched the archives for this one . . . at one point postpartum do you
test thyroid, seeking an accurate read, giving information to treat? My
sense is that if mom has a hx of hypothyroid and is having supply issues, it
would make sense to do some blood work. Doc doesn't test until 6 weeks
postpartum. Rationale? Everything I've found says "postpartum." *When*
postpartum? I'm now nearly 15 years postpartum; now?
