Post pregnancy health problems

Hi all,

In the 2.5 years since my lb was born I have continued to develop various health problems. Prior to his birth I was very healthy, never really got sick - only issue was unexplained infertility which led to his IVF conception.

Fast forward two years- I have food intolerances, worsening asthma, skin rash flare ups, ovulation pain (possibly caused by CS adhesions) and just generally lots of strange flare ups. I'm now waiting on an endscopy procedure to investigate severe acid reflux which has arisen suddenly in past few months and isn't being alleviated by medication.

Has anyone else experienced such post pregnancy issues? One GP mentioned it being an auto immune response but didn't really elaborate. My main concern is if a second pregnancy would worsen the situation - I can't bear the thought of being left with even more health conditions?

Any advice much appreciated!

Bloods were done last week at the same time as my referral for endoscopy. Not sure if thyroid panel was included though - will check when I get the results at the end of this week.

Thanks :)
