How did you feel 1-2 years after having a baby?

I feel awful. Not depressed, just constantly exhausted, run down, headaches and catch every bug going, so feel I constantly have a cold or virus or sick bug!

I had cancer 6 years ago and I have a very underactive thyroid and I'm trying to work out if it is down to one of these or if it's just what mums of young ones feel like. I've had tests on my thyroid. Apparently ok. I haven't seen my oncologist yet and am terrified to.

My baby is 20 months old and sleeps really well, but I do run my own business so have to juggle that with doing my best to be a great mum! It's just so hard when I am always lacking energy. My husband is really hands on - but works away a lot.

Tailfeather that's a good point actually, I followed a keto diet for a few months (co incided with me starting thyroxine) and I think it did make a difference. I thought it was the thyroxine, but saying that this month is pretty awful and I'm not doing keto anymore.
