Hi mummas,

firstly thank you for all the replies and support/opinions

wysiwyg - not against medications for thyroid, never been prescribed them thats all...including this time. Dr has ordered me to get check up in 4wks time to see whats happening.

Amy - my desire to feed bub is strong too, guess i just feel helpless because im not getting the medical support i need to help ME!! sometimes i think i should put the dr hat on cos as it was she questioned me about getting my thyroid checked when i asked for a test....

MadB - not medicated, drs have not prescribed anything - said its normal for thyroid to return to normal after preg hormones settle a bit. YES i do feel like utter crud with fatigue, it even makes me dizzy which is my primary reason i went to the dr, ive been mostly housebound due to fear of fainting while driving or out with bub.

nickle730 - thanx for sharing and yes sounds like all i need to do is get thyroid medication and ill be fine.

k4t - your labour sounded like mine!! i had a horrendous time due to being induced so my milk was slow coming in too!! Im doing everything you mentioned except for thyroid meds and motillum. Also i know bubbas cluster feed at night anyhoo but my bub is def frustrated with MY supply, I can feed her 30-50mins (patiently) and she still cant get enuf till i give her a bottle and then she calms down, i see the contentment in her face and a big full belly and she is sweet so its def me not her.

AFM i guess ill try to see an endocrinologist, someone who cares/understands what im going thru and i should get somewhere!
