I'm 9 months post baby and was very active before and during pregnancy. Since then, I have been horribly fatigued and my muscles ache constantly. Just the thought of exercising is exhausting. I've just gone to the doctor who thinks I may have developed an autoimmune disorder after pregnancy. Are there any new moms who have experienced this?

    I developed a thyroid problem after my first child, so I imagine it's a possibility. I was hopeful it would go away after my subsequent pregnancies and my body would normalize, but that never happened. I hope you are able to find answers soon.

    I developed an autoimmune disorder called Sjogren's syndrome after my daughter was born. I am 36 and she is 3 now. I have muscle aches and fatigue with it.
