Brief Answer:
As below
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
After a delivery, it may take up to a year for the hormones to stabilize.
Please do not worry about it.
Just get a recent TSH level and ultrasound scan done.
If that is normal, there is no cause for concern.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care
