PN that comes after a pregnancy should be evaluated for
low thyroid. That is what happened to me.

Also low essential fatty acids in the diet, will rob the mother, so the baby's brain can develop. If you do not eat EFAs in your diet (fatty fish like salmon, flaxoil etc) you might be low and when low
you cannot repair your nervous system. Omega-3s are often lacking in the American diet, so you might need to take supplements to get them.

Here is my EFA thread:
