Hypothyroidism and postpartum

Kate

I’m due with my second baby in May and apparently with my first I was really lucky and didn’t have to adjust my synthroid much at all and went back to my pre-pregnancy dosage the day after delivery. My new endocrinologist has had my adjust my dosage every appointment because of normal pregnancy weight gain, that being said, she told me that by the time I deliver I will be about 50% above my normal dosage and would keep me on that dosage for about 6 weeks and it would help me lose the pregnancy weight. Did anyone else’s doctor do this? Did it help you lose the pregnancy weight?
