Re: Weight gain with pregnancy

I gained an awful 65lbs with my prgnancy a couple years ago. I thought
it was just the PCOS and unbearable sugar cravings, but when I finally
got an appt. with the endocrinologist she discovered that I had gotten
thyroid disease from the pregnancy (which is somewhat common) but that
it had not gone away and that was the main reason I couldn't lose
weight. So...you might want to ask to have your's checked. Since going
on thyroid meds and glucophage I have lost 46 lbs. in the last 6
months. That's good enough for me! All I can stress is that you need to
seek medical attention before you either gain more, or start feeling
worse! It may be something totally medical and it's unfair to blame
yourself.
