By , About.com GuideFebruary 16, 2009

Follow me on:

It's common for women to feel tired, experience mood swings, and have a variety of other symptoms in the months after childbirth. But for some women, symptoms can become troublesome and may point to a thyroid problem known as postpartum thyroiditis. If you have decreased milk volume (or inability to breastfeed), hair loss, fatigue goiter, depression or moodiness after pregnancy, you may be showing signs of a postpartum thyroid condition.
