hi all,
i am lala1 and am new to mumsnet, son and only child almost three but although i knew about web site i was so ill and hyper i had no concentration or time to sit still and ask for help. i hope you will bear with me. i had text book pregnancy and labour at 37 and no breast feeding problems. once home i said i could not cope with feeding every 20 mins all day and all night as my weight dropped from 9stone pst delivery to seven four in a month. no health visitor spotted that this was thyroid problem, tried to say was just motherhood which made me feel more guilty, year later was diagnosed with hyperthriodism very ill, had surgery septalmost died thanks to private hospital having no docs on duty over crucial period but am alive!!!!!!!!!! my point is please please do not assume health visitor knows all as they are not doctors and i lost half my healthy body weight and they said breast is best.... not if your dead lol
