Wierd postpartum body issues

So I was wondering if I am a alone on this or is there anyone else out there experiencing strange postpartum issues?

This just may be normal for my genetics or it could be something else  but there is definitely something going on. Very frustrating!

I had normal postpartum shedding of my hair in the first 3 months but then after that my hair began growing like crazy! My hair on my head is the fullest its ever been but sadly I have developed unwanted body hair too-like on my belly and stuff :-(  . Another strange thing-I haven't lost a single pound since the day after delivery!

Im hoping its just my hormones out of whack and when Im done breastfeeding maybe they'll go back to normal. I figure a month or so after weaning if there is no improvement, I'll make an appt.

This got me wondering if there is anyone out there experiencing something similar or other strange postpartum problems?

    Did you get your thyroid checked post partum? My PCP did a blood test to check mine because she said a lot of times having a baby can throw your thyroid off. The difficulty with weight loss and the hair growth sounds like it could be related to a thyroid issue, but I'm also not a doctor so take my suggestion with a grain of salt. It wouldn't hurt to talk to your doctor about it, though.

     

    That's another strange thing.

    I actually have had hypothyroidism and was on synthroid for the last 3 years and during pregnancy. So I got my thyroid checked postpartum and the levels showed normal for the first time ever-so weird!

    I know I need to make an apt but I dread going in sooo badly.

    Im sorry you ladies are experiencing crazy stuff too. I was starting to feel like I was the odd one out but I guess we're not alone. Heres to hoping this stuff goes away eventually and isn't permanent.
