O.P.
Hi J. - After I had my son, I developed thyroid problems too. Try to find an endocrinologist near you as soon as you can. Possibly, they can help you before you need to go on medication like I did. Currently, I am taking Armour, which is a "natural" medication, as opposed to Synthroid, which is the synthetic version. I'm not sure that it is working, but I've only been on it for two months - I may be switching to the Synthroid. But my sister in law, who also has Hypothyroidism, had lent me two books - The Thyroid Diet (Mary J Shoman) and Living Well With Hypothyroidism (same author). Maybe they can help you as well. Good luck!
