Dany:  You ask whether all mothers are hypothyroid after birth.  Although
it's not uncommon to have postpartum hypothyroidism and we should suspect
it in mothers who have symptoms such as severe fatigue, feeling very
cold, constipation, dry skin and poor milk supply, it is by no means
every mother who gets this condition.  I don't know the actual incidence
of postpartum hypothyroidism (I'll check it), but I'd be surprised if it
was more than 5-10%.  Alicia.  [log in to unmask]
