Can someone please talk some sense into me?
I have phoned for a doctor's appointment (to discuss signing off/phased return and referral for counselling). The receptionist said "oh we've just written to you to ask you to come in, your blood results show an underactive thyroid." These are the blood tests done about 1 hour after I gave birth.
I have of course started googling and found that an untreated underactive thyroid would have put me at 4 times greater risk of a second trimester loss. I know that doesn't mean it is the reason, but I'm so very frightened. I'm not responding to anything rationally at the moment and feel so fragile. I feel terrible, I'm so afraid it might turn out that my body actually did fail Bobbie, and I could be the reason my baby died. I know it wouldn't be my fault, I didn't know, but I absolutely will feel responsible for that tiny grave.
Why don't they test for these things?? It's a simple blood test followed by medication if needed. I even saw a doctor about a week before The Scan to say I was just so run down and exhausted and couldn't cope. I suspected anaemia, but it could of course be the thyroid... she didn't care and didn't want to check anything 
I wish I could wake up, I don't want to believe I'm where I am, wish it was a nightmare.
