Never had issues with thyroid, all of a sudden they suspect hashimoto

Hi everyone
My blood work before pregnancy was always fine.
Now I'm 8 months post partum...2 months ago I started feeling dizzy and having vertigo. Also pain in the calves and headaches. I did blood test whilst on holiday as I was feeling unwell and they suspect hashimoto.
I never had it before . Did someone had the experience of having it postpartum whilst breastfeeding and then it went away?? Why did it come ??? I feel a bit distraught as I had a difficult pregnancy and now feel like it ruined my health 😭

Hi, I’ve had Hashimoto’s for 5 years now. I wasn’t caused by pregnancy for me but as it’s an autoimmune disease I know that it can be triggered by pregnancy as it’s throws your immune system out of whack. As far as I’m aware, once you have it, it doesn’t go away. I take daily levothyroxine and it has absolutely no impact on my life whatsoever. I just have a blood test every six months to check my thyroid levels. Happy to answer any questions you have!

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
