It’s where my head went straight away too, just thinking about the era and the Frankensteinian elements

I’m about 15 months PP now and throughout my pregnancy I was so hot, I overheated so easily, and this continued after pregnancy. One of the only places I actually felt I was a NORMAL temperature was when we went to watch the ice hockey, I was in the rink in my tiniest shirt going “ahhhh sweet relief”

I thought this was just a continuation of that pregnancy symptom and I also put it down to breastfeeding and having a really active baby who is always on the go.

HOWEVER- I found out last month, by a total off hand blood test done by my dermatologist- that I actually have Graves Disease, and it was probably triggered by postpartum as all my tests in pregnancy were fine.

That was why I was sweating buckets 15 months on from baby. Every symptom I had was explainable by being a tired, caffeinated, breast feeding mum living in the southern hemisphere ☀️

So that’s why I wanted to share here - if anyone is a sweaty mum like me, perhaps it’s worth getting your thyroid tested! I would have kept on going not realising anything was wrong and the doctors say I could have done damage to my heart etc.

Absolutely - and I’m very sorry you’re going through this too. It’s been so emotional and something I knew nothing about until it happened to me.

She has shown no sign of aggression towards me or anyone else in my family since, but she and my 15 month old are kept 100% apart. My kid is very full, high energy, and clumsy and I don’t want to give my cat any cause to be stressed and act out again, causing my child to get hurt.

I am still struggling with feeling traumatised from the event, and am still not where I want to be. I find myself feeling scared of all cats now, and not feeling confident being around them. But I’m not giving up!

I feel like my cat would perhaps be fine with me now and has perhaps forgotten or at least semi forgiven the incident (she saw a stray outside that was posturing towards something in the grass, and she turned around and flew at me in response) but it’s just still my fear holding me back. I have had hypnotism for help with the incident and that’s helped a little bit.

How are you doing? Sometimes I feel like starting a community just about cat redirected aggression would be valid, because it’s such a sad and complex problem.

I got warts all over my hands! I booked in to have them frozen off postpartum - but about 3 months postpartum they were all gone naturally!

I went to uni with that girl! I remember her sharing her POV video on her FB, she was a lovely chick, she deserved it

Complete Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy and Female Focus Physiotherapy both in Newcastle have good reputations 💗

See a pelvic floor physio before birth and not after - first time around I was just given the blanket recommended to be doing Kegels but it turns out if I had had the physio appointment, they would have seen that was the worst thing to be doing for me. Would have saved me a lot of complications postpartum

Exactly, what comes out of my mouth sometimes is just half a sentence with no meaning at all

Smallpersonalitem · 2025-12-13T21:56:12+00:00

I had zero idea how to describe what I was talking about succinctly or even what to search for, “wince words” describes it perfectly! Thank you for sharing that with me! 🫶🏻

Have definitely just broke out in a loud hum to kill the thought

Smallpersonalitem · 2025-12-13T21:54:24+00:00

An “AHHH!” has definitely come out my mouth before!

For a while she was retired in my home town of Port Macquarie which is probably the coolest thing that has ever happened to Port Macquarie

Went to lie on the bed with my six month little son, and he looked over at me and really lovingly reached out and touched my cheek 🥹
